Yours Is the Earth
Yours is the earth! And that is our expectation of you,
For you to express that promise in becoming that person,
Without holding back, expect the will! That speaks to you in not so many words.
That says to you "Can you become that person in this world or not?
And answer that one question all have come to ask since time began,
Is this world enough for you? Is this earth something you can make your own?
Then if you can answer that one question all have asked then yours is the earth,
And you are better for knowing it then you are for being nothing within it.
