Deep


Deep beneath the skin Deep beneath the cave You find gold Deep and inventive like an ocean Is our soul Deep underneath the soil is a seed Deep beneath our hearts is a need Use your shovel and dig beyond the surface Use your love and find a purpose The meaning is deep beyond the exterior The person is deep far beyond the mirror We get old and our bones weaken But deep inside our hearts will keep speaking I am deeper than the roots I am deeper than a blood pouring bruise I am more complex than science My words are deeper than roars from lions We are deep; we are the coal found inside the earth We are the coal that brightens; we are deep beneath the dirt
