Limitless
When overcoming anger
I remember the day
When the sun disappeared
Heard the distant wail
Of a gull lingering by the sea
Knowing it could no longer stay.
Its sad tune overtaken
By the coming thunder
Announcing a dark invasion
With the furious clamor
Of an inescapable tribulation.
Today’s chaos seems to claim the end
As it had been prophesied
In all their books, used as a pretense
That only left them paralyzed
With a fear that made them lesser men.
Pointing fingers was now a waste of time
For the impending gloom was upon them all
Not caring for strong or weak, black or white
Rich or poor, neither the giants nor the small
It was invading regardless of your truth or mine.
But with its deadly weight
It carried its own bitter truth
It pursued its destructive aim
As freely as freedom could
In the same way our own we fiercely claim.
However ours is now taken away
There’s nowhere to run and hide
The only thing left to do is it to face
Together hand in hand and unite
Forget my freedom if yours is invaded.
Lay down our weapons
Still our angry voices
Lift our eyes to the heavens
And sing as one voice
Raise it in repentance.
And as the waters wash away
All the debris caused by the storm
Our tears have washed away
All the misery ever born
The winds die, skies a glorious display.
Limitless.
