Ray of Light
Ray of light
Shining bright
Help me feel
Beyond the steel
of the compassionless face
Lacking grace
Ray of light
Ignite the flight
of the innocent child
Whose carefree wilds
Embody the dreams
of grown-up means
Ray of light
Hold him tight
Embrace his laughter
For ever after
Promise his plight
Will be made right
Ray of light
Help me fight
Show me how
To unfurrow his brow
To contain the rage
Help him better gage
How to express
Without excess
His honest feelings;
their true meanings
Ray of light
Bring to its height
His true potential
Its value; exponential
Never again, shall he know
The cruelty, others show
Not understanding
Why they were branding
Him a freak
