Who Will
Who will hush the child in the man,
Who smiles by day and weeps at night?
Who will put a smile on his heart,
Greater than the fake on his face?
Who will hold his hand into the light,
And lead him to luminated paths?
His heart is heavy and weighed down
With many shadows from the past.
Shadows that reign in all his dreams.
Who will get rid of the scars,
Scars of the past that mark his heart?
Who can provide what he seeks;
The tender warmth he cherishes
That sews the human race?
What can stop his bleeding heart
From bleeding itself out dry?
Who will clothe his naked skin,
And give him shelter from this cold?
His growing hunger, who will feed?
Who will feed the famished soul in me?
