The Song of Purpose

There is a song Within the human voice A song that speaks an undeniable truth That tests the meaning of our mettle To strive beyond what we know of ourselves For the elements that define our spirit We Sing! A song of discovery in the face of being lost A song of triumph in the face of failure A song of strength in the face of hardship Of determination in the face of fear A song of faith in the heart of treachery A song of redemption in the face of shame A song of compassion in the eyes of anger A song within the wisdom of ourselves To transpose the music of each moment We Sing!
