More Than This

MORE THAN THIS

We are more than just a face,
We are more than just a smile,
More than the clothes we wear,
More than the words we say,
We are more than this.

We are more than just skin and bones,
We are more than just flesh and blood,
More than the work we do,
More than the rewards we seek,
We are more than this.

We are more than just neighbours,
We are more than just friends,
More than brother or sister,
More than parent or child,
We are more than this.

We are hearts, beating but broken,
We are souls, fragile but cautious,
Minds, open but wary,
Bodies, beautiful but failing,
Yet we are more than this.

We are spirits, yearning for freedom,
We are lovers, craving only acceptance,
Forgotten strangers, in the corner of a bar,
Distant dreamers, in the corner of a field,
Yet we are more than this.

We are old, and we are new,
We learn from faults, yet still fail,
Gazing out, still wondering,
What are we? Only time...
Yet we are more than this,
We are you.

We are lost and lonely wanderers
Desperately grappling for life
We are the innocent laughter of a child
And the crys of the dark
Yearning for hope 
Yet more than this...

We have lost ourselves in dreaming
I have lost myself in you...
