The Unknown World

As I walk through this unknown world With a heavy heart and an anxious soul, All I can think of is my family For they are the only ones true to me, The lives of my brothers and sisters painfully unfold Oh, how their stories had gone untold, Though their voices were blare They were still shackled down in despair The soaring sparrows remind me of my wise old man Who had once taught me to be brave Now has warned me to stay out of storm's way. And oh my dearest mother who has suffered the most She's lost a child but hasn't lost hope. I hear her pleads every night Her tears are of pain and her wishes ask for rights. ‘God has a plan for all’ she still believes in this philosophy One day I will make them proud Even if it means the end of me. And when we come to talk about me I'll use those same words on repeat For I am the same as my family. Family, you may consider the ties of blood But for me, they are the ones who share the same stars, Pitifully now the day has come to an end I smile as I look upon the path I came It's half to my goal, to make this world our home.
