Dare

Yes, my friend life is tough,

But would you dare enough,

to follow the path of humanity

in this world of insanity?

Yes, my friend the path is full of thorny vine,

But would you dare enough to blossom as divine,

to grow like the sunflower

in the presence of sunshine?

Yes, my friend the world is unfair,

But would you dare enough to care

for those who are in the pitch blackness,

to lift them above this darkness?

Yes, my friend the day today is cold,

But would you dare enough to be bold

and face this empty world

with your pure soul without being hurled?
