The Human Spirit
The Human Spirit
Look into my eyes
And you will see
Maybe just lies
But they can see deep
Feel my hands
They may not be rough
And feel like sand
But can return your touch
See my ears
You may think they are small
You may think they do not hear
But they listen to things heard and unheard; all
Listen to my words
You may think they are insane
And you may get bored
But I make sense even if I scream, wail, and wane
Feel my chest
You can’t feel the tightness
You can’t sense the distress
But you can’t see my feeling of righteousness
Look at my feet
you may walk down any road
You may drive any street
But you can’t navigate my soul
Then look at my whole being
You may not think I have merit
You may not think I am worth believing
And you may not think I have fidelity
But for you I will not have contempt
And for eternity will I persist
To confront the unperceptive
For I have the human spirit
