Barely two months
Leaving everything
Leaving the world I knew
Leaving all for 18 months
There was only me now
There I stood at the termibak
There I stood in a foreign culture
I was once a young man at 18
Who decided to leave you see
To a place unknown
And a language lone
That's where I decided to be
I was called to L.A.
So I flew right away
Oh lord,
Shatter my heart through
The barbed wire fence
That embodies my logic
And philosophy.
Let my heart be an open wound,
Let it feel the laceration
That is the result of your truths.

I shan’t require a majestic domain, for one already awaits.
Every star in the sky
Is a different city
Rooftop missions
Summer ambitions
Different paths

Glazing eyes
Filled with wonder
Hope
Love
A simple word, with many definitions.
A simple word, a greater mission.
A smile, a handshake, a hug.
Simple actions, a simple proposition.
Spread the word and find repetition.
The first thing you can hear, the faint sound of a heartbeat
The joyous drum-like sound that connects us all
A life is made, a heartbeat proves it
But it also means so much more
What does my heart beat for?
May the lighters light
May your heart love
May the sun shine
Right above us
May your actions be worthy
May your hunger be hardy
May your drive have engine
May your soul have a mission
