Allow yourself to live in the discomfort
Embrace the tension you’ve been running from
Wrestle with the silence of not knowing
Then marvel at the artist you’ve become

With solo ambition
the path can become
a blind competition
Yet, what if instead…

I try, I fail,
I know,
I shrink, I stretch,
I grow

These chains of reaction
Hold heavy their bond
Yet, unravel and fall
When we pause…
…then respond

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
