The Power In Three

Fri, 11/28/2014 - 22:47 -- Leyoht

The power inside;

I know this kind of feeling.

But you cannot hide

The power you’ve been stealing.

It cannot be true!

Is this the end of the world?

The power in blue,

Let’s relinquish what you’ve unfurled.

The power in me:

That’s what I want you to realize.

The power in three:

That’s just what you have despised.

 

I won’t let you win.

I won’t let you fall.

But I’ll be laughing

Even as you crawl.

 

You don’t know what I’m feeling,

You don’t know what’s inside of me.

But I realize what you’re thinking

All thanks to the power in three.

 

Work separately, they won’t,

When the risk is high:

When the stakes start to fly.

 

The power in three

Is all but misunderstood.

Take it from me

Or you’ll never see past your hood.

 

The power

All at once.

Has fallen again.

It’s not just something I write through a black pen.

It’s something I say when I’m feeling black-and-white.

When I’m around

All around

And nothing is right.
