We Are Not Sea Creatures
We are not sea creatures

Don't be one of the broken ones
Who remain empty shells that echo
The remnants of their humanity
Long forgotten and stripped away
Don't be one of the cruel ones
Who become hard and sharp to the world
The remnants of their kindness
Long forgotten and pierced through the heart
For brokenness can be mended
We just have to keep choosing faith and hope
Hold on to the Light in the Darkness
And choose to heal and grow and fly
For cruelty can be conquered
It's not natural to be destructive
Babies are born with kindness and smiles
They embrace friendship and happiness
Let's not become empty shells
Let's not be hard and sharp
For we are not sea creatures
Living in the cold, dark ocean waters
We are mammals that can do (almost) anything
We are made up from starlight and stardust
We are the best potential in the Universe
We are capable of love and light and balance
Our echoes are meant to be soul vibes
Energetic frequencies of hope and blessings
Our beings are meant to be whole
We are created for magic and mystery
The Dark side of humanhood
Is a series of choices and experiences
But it's (almost) never too late to change
Become the best version of our being
So, please...
Don't be one of the broken ones
Who remain empty shells that echo
The remnants of their humanity
Long forgotten and stripped away
Don't be one of the cruel ones
Who become hard and sharp to the world
The remnants of their kindness
Long forgotten and pierced through the heart
For brokenness can be mended
We just have to keep choosing faith and hope
Hold on to the Light in the Darkness
And choose to heal and grow and fly
For cruelty can be conquered
It's not natural to be destructive
Babies are born with kindness and smiles
They embrace friendship and happiness
Let's not become empty shells
Let's not be hard and sharp
For we are not sea creatures
Living in the cold, dark ocean waters
