A silent voice of kindness and love,

Like a beautiful bird kept in a cage,
Like a lion that wants to roar but is too afraid.
Like a fish that can no longer swim,
Like a roaming elephant that does not know where to begin.

Like a mother waiting to give birth,
Like god waiting for peace on earth.
Like being at a train station on a snowy day,
You wait around forever, then it never comes your way.

Every moment can be viewed as heaven or hell,
From the ego, or the heart you cast your spell.
One makes things magical, twinkly and light,
The other painful and heavy, an eternal fight.

What brings out your beauty from inside,
Those talents, your genius you so choose to hide.
A silent voice of kindness and love,
An internal surrender to the voice from above.

If I am honest, humble and true,
Provide service to others, the best I can do.
That will present my best self to this beautiful land,
and touch the heart of another by lending my hand.

Your life is a mirror

Studying the great laws one by one
Means my journey has really just begun
The universe works in the most beautiful way
To reunite us with all we have to say

When the pain seeps from every pore
When the body is weak, so incredibly sore
When the teardrop hangs deep in my soul
When I feel millions of miles from my greatest goal

Know that pain is the disharmony from the inside coming out
Those fears and impurities that constantly shout
Like an operation on the mind
It may feel harsh but it's incredibly kind

We were all built perfectly, strong and true
What we manifest comes down to your belief in you
Your life is a mirror of what's inside
Those impurities will never hide

Until each one has been shown the light of day
They will hang around and have their say
But if we truly believe in the abundance of this land
The gods will obey and lend a hand
