Return to your roots
Love, once sacred, now feels like air,
Vanishing quickly, though everywhere.
We trust in the outside, hollow and wide,
Forgetting the voice that lives deep inside.
Validation flies high, like stars in the sky,
The truth of a bond is now a surprise.
How did we fall, in this modern parade,
Where promises fade, and hearts are betrayed?
Look how we live, trading for gain,
Raising each other with whispers of pain.
Privacy now guards what love cannot keep,
Secrets that drown in silence so deep.
But today, I rise, unbreakable, whole,
Deception won't swallow the strength of my soul.
Who do I trust, when trust is so thin?
I’ll turn to my roots, where love did begin.
I'd return to my father’s house, where peace is my song,
Rather than live where intentions are wrong.
For I'd rather be alone, in truth and in grace,
Than lie with a heart that’s lost its own place.
