The Divinity Within
"Lower your hands, pull up the pants so the ankles are bare
Keep a beard, shave the mustache don't you know it's a prayer!
Bend down more, bow your head, this is your life, you clear?
Leave it all, heed the call, submit to God right here!"
As a child I felt stifled by this ceaseless barrage
From a man painfully shallow behind his obvious facade
How could he who had experienced so little of world
Be my guide to a place never seen, just heard
For to me it was strange that the Maker so divine
Was portrayed as an aggressor punishing you for your crimes
While as human, less angelic, I would rather forgive
Spread the love, build a world oh so blissful to live
If you really look deep, you will feel it in you
The heavenly presence of the Lord, a light shining so true
Not just in humans, plants and animals but even the earth's crust
God is everywhere you look, inside every one of us
So why be led by someone just to feel God's might
Cause in my heart I am clear what I think is right
And that knowledge comes straight from my faith in Thee
For I know that Thou art in every facet of me
You don't need a medium to get closer to God
For you are heard before you think, that's the power of the Lord
All that's needed is a heart open far and wide
A little respect for His creations and He's there by your side
