The World Stage
When you say my name,
It doesn't sound quite right
It is as if you're speaking to
Someone I have yet to meet
In a foreign tongue, on a dazzling starless night
I can hear the wind
to my ears it is mystically complete
Because we all see things that are not there
If one provides no use, then you provide no care
Nobody takes a gander behind the curtain,
behind the stark and fallible curtain
To see that differences are obsolete
Sex is not, race is not, just a pretty face is not
We're all the same, just manipulated
Through the eyes of the being who feels obligated
To judge, and resent, because others say so
When at the end of the day, love is all we know
All else is simply another form
And when altered enough, almost unrecognizably lovelorn
Behind my curtain, I know that we are one
Composed of sky and ground, feeding on the Sun
No better, not worse, superior to none
We cannot have secrets, for we know all we know as one
The stark and fallible divide
Must be finally pushed aside
Let's burn them down
with our flames and anguish,
So that there will be nowhere left to hide.
