Beneath the Surface

What's beneath the surface of us all? What is it that makes us who we are? We feel love, we feel hate We feel joy, and we feel pain Each of us is unique But it seems so hard to see what's beneath the surface ... Underneath it all We take our pain to makeus strong We take our hate to right the wrong It may not take long Or it may take your life to figure out what's beneath the surface Beneath the surface is a child Who's hopes and dreams can run wild Where the impossible does not exist But as we age With the dawn of a new day A piece of that child is lost Forever alone and eternally forgotton And with all this, I can only desire That we can reach inside And find that hidden child Beneath the surface Life is but a race Slow and steady like the turtles' pace Understan it is a gift To live as you do For there are others who Know more than they wish to But beneath the surface There's so much to be found What's beneath the surface I cannot say I could ponder it Each and every day I know, and you know Though there is much to know There is so much more that we don't know For beneath the surface Is a complex system With so many things I can hardly list them Beneath it all No matter what you say There is a little hope And it helps to get through every day There is a little child filled with wonder To find what's beneath the surface You need not but to look inside And find the answers are buried within you There's light... and darkness too But that is who you are are to deny it, would be untrue So, what's beneath the surface May be hard to see but if you look deep inside maybe.... just maybe, you will see all you can be
