I see the world

With it's fury and pain.

It fights every move we make,

Pushes against us until we break

And then some.

I see the world

In all it's passion and glory

It creates paths for the lost to follow.

Which lead to opportunity and connections,

Life and love.

I see the world

For it's contradictions and it mystery.

From the deepest seas to the densest forests,

We will never know all of it's secrets

Or why it beats us into the ground only to pick us up again.

I see the world

And it sees me.
