Be

Be the wheel
that's set to turn
The comfort in 
the daily hurt
The flame that lights
not the one that burns
Be the lesson
that is learned

Be the hope
and not despair 
The helping hands
that show you care
The pleasure ride
that takes you there
Be the truth 
inside the dare

Be the answer
to the call
The very reason
for it all
The solid yes
to all the no's 
Be the river
that freely flows

Be the kindness
that we need
The encouragement  
that sets us free
The do good
to the deed 
Be all this
and all of these
