When the enemy’s words
enter under the surface and sting.
To attack the attacker
redoubles the harm that they bring…

Deep in the heart
Ready to roar
There’s a lion within
Hungry for more

I thought these shields would serve me
Yet they kept the world at bay
Now every shield I shed
Casts more fears away

My heart beats the rhythm
of rising up high
This seedling is seeking
new reaches of sky

The keys of this piano
One by one are each profound
Yet when they sing together
There’s magic in the sound

I hit a big home run
Yet scored no points at all
For though I had the greatest swing
The game was basketball

I have come and I will go
And what I do with what I know
I will give and help to grow
Those who follow

What if
Your grandest vision came true
What if
The path was waiting inside you

Every day
Sure and steady
And when it’s time
You’ll be ready

The sun can hit a wooden plank
for years without a mark
yet magnify the focused rays
and flames begin to spark

I face the pesky problem
and send it to my head
to find the answer hiding
in my heart instead

What is it I create,
with the time today I borrow?
A compound interest shaping,
what I’ll make tomorrow

Your words and music are strong
Yet your spirit sings louder than song
