Shane

Desperate to reach success
Desperate to live,
Cold and kind
Desperate to give.

Gentle and Rough
Two worlds apart,
Strong, fearless
A man with heart.

In touch with himself
A brother, a son,
Music in his veins
A lonely one.

Eyes of blue 
That tell the truth,
Misunderstood
His words are few.

Desperate to play
Desperate to love,
For just to sing
Is not enough.

The man I know 
The world cannot tame,
The strong-spirited man
Who I call Shane.
