THERE ARE MIRACLES IN EVERYTHING YOU SEE

RISE UP – ANDRA DAY

 

Shed the many coats of your forefathers

those whose knowledge passed down through the years

let dust consume those old and fragile manuscripts

listen, really listen to your fears

hearsay is our assumed reality

we act on words of others almost blindly

let's rely upon our instincts that run deeper

like a river flowing through us; speak out kindly

all our needs are met in perfect moments

don't be another witness passing by

lift up your consciousness; I am beside you

I am here for you; I hear you; feel your cry

I am not the sum of all that has befallen me

I will not allow myself to be that so defined

I can rise up high to float amongst the ether

and eradicate all those words that so malign

within you each a light shines ever brighter

yet words of others still snuff out the flame

I urge you now; stop listening to these voices

they're not yet so enlightened; they're not to blame

raise your thoughts to goodness all around you

there are miracles in everything you see

the caterpillar that becomes a lovely butterfly

transition sure; complete and positively

if we are to find peace amid the chaos

we have to metamorphasize ourselves

take this new day and spin good thoughts so golden all around

make a better world for all not just yourselves

yes, words are easy; I don't have all the answers

I often fail; I often doubt myself

but the first day of the rest of my life is in the here and now

and I will try to make my words and actions count

it only takes a random act of kindness

to make a stranger smile and feel complete

a tiny seed is planted for the future

and passed on to the next one he will meet

and so your one small act of goodness

is slowly spread throughout this world of ours

until the hate and wars are left behind us

and love and beauty grows like precious flowers.
