By giving you will get back
You don’t need to ask for respect
Keep fighting for what’s left
I know I’m just a man
I rely on no sword
Only my ken
My words might have no meaning
But, why are you reading?
Little I can give you
Maybe enough to remember that there’s more within you

Through losses and heartbreaks I battled
Can’t hide at times I do feel rattled
I lost a wife
But I didn’t lose my life
I’ve sinned
The guilt hounds
But my will to live still abounds
Love is my spear
Hate is just fear
Used by men you don’t need near

You’re not an island
You’re the sea
Paths cross like a vine
Futures intertwine
What you do over here
Can change our big blue...
