It's Me

It's me-----P-U-R-P-L-E
                                 As far as the eyes can see--it's me.
                      It's I who soothe the heart that life has broken-
                      Tame the very lips where ill words were spoken.
                       As you call, my name embraces your very soul-
                   Elevate your spirit, freedom makes you totally whole.

                  I clothe you in the very things they said you wouldn't-
               Doubt said you shouldn't, because of fear felt you couldn't.
                Now, step assuredly for I'm confidence beneath your feet- 
                    I won't tell a soul - if you want to be totally discreet.
                      Tho' you can't see the wind yet it is always there-
                        It speaks to the leaves while I russell your hair.
            
                   I am what you seek, I'm complete, your everything-
                I breathe that you may soar, I'm wind beneath your wings.                  
                          Your peace, your rest, you're never alone-
                       Caesar Augustus himself hasn't the power to atone.
                   Regal. Radical. Royal. I'm reliable all just the very same-
                      I change your total essence---Purple is my name.
