Our Pearl

The world is a pearl, 
We're all just bits of sand. 
Clinging tightly to our shelter,
Inside the giant clam. 
There's more to it all, 
Much more than what we see. 
We all play a part in exposing 
The pearl's inner beauty. 
While in search of love and laughter.
While searching for your own.
Remember that our pearl is alive, 
And it's dreaming on its own
It shelters us from the ocean 
It keeps us from plunging down, 
Into the abyss of darkness, 
That lives all around.
And just like in the ocean,
There's millions of other clams,
And if they open their galaxy,
We might find their, 
Pearl within.
