I Want To Know

I'm not interested in how, You make a living? I want to know if you have nothing, Are you still giving? I want to know if you dare to dream of meeting Your hearts longing? I want to know in a crowd of strangers, Can you sense your belonging? I want to know if you will risk, looking like a fool for love? I want to know if your lover, Is all you dreamed of? I'm not interested in what planets, Align with the moon? I want to know if your OK dancing To the beat of a different tune? I want to know if you have touched The center of your sorrow? I want to know if you believe in the Children of tomorrow? I'm not interested if the story You tell is true? I want to know if all is lost Can you still make do? I want to know if you can see beauty, If it's not pretty? I want to know if you can help the youth out, in the inner city? I'm not interested in how You came to be here? I want to know your dreams And the things you fear? I want to know if you can stand in the fire And not shrink back? I want to know if you can finish, When you're out of whack? I'm not interested in when Or where you went to school? I want to know under pressure, Can you keep your cool? I want to know what sustains you on the Inside when all else falls away? I want to know if your still grateful, When you've had a bad day? I'm not interested in where you live Or how much money you make? I want to know if your OK with eating out Of a can; instead of a T-Bone steak? I want to know if you believe in blind faith Or do you look before you leap? I want to know if you can be alone with yourself And truly like the company you keep? Turbo1904
