The Seed

Every single thing I read making me upset

Scrolling through my daily feed on the internet

What is it that people need? How do we reset?

We all grew from the same seed, but we all forget

That everybody can connect, but instead of that

We're private and we're separate, never overlap

We walk around on the defense, are we holding back?

What you give is what you get, and what we’ve got is

Nothing, sitting in our bedrooms day and night, while we try

To leave something beautiful behind

How do we do that?

Lock our doors and analyze, making notes and plans

Then play it back a thousand times, 'til we understand

Were beautiful with open eyes, live while you can

But we're expected to create, on a strict routine

While living in an office space, staring at a screen

We miss out while we sit and wait, when we haven’t seen

What the world will help us make, because we all have

Something, calling us to bring it to the light, so we try

To leave something beautiful behind
