light and love

originally uploaded by ~aspidistra~.

desiring never to be left alone
we stand next to those whose ideals we can trust
seeking uniqueness from all of the world
but "them" ends up looking exactly like us

we're children of light, children of love -
born of a budding brand new revolution.
but are we a part of a crowd that won't last,
who'll flee at the first sign of slight persecution?

child of light, do you run from the darkness?
child of love, do you battle with hate?
or have you surrounded yourself with just comfort
have you forgotten you can't fight your fate?

you WERE meant for more, but it's never easy,
joining the brotherhood of the elect.
then you are loving, then you are light
when you have learned to trust and respect.

so daughter of light, shine out like the starlight
sweet son of love, treat the world as your brother.
and we will all learn from your brilliant example
that we can't be alone, that we need one another.

but don't think of a following, don't call for a crowd.
you may feel that you're being love all alone
but when you feel lonesome, know i'm next to you
know you're supported, and know that you're known.
for i know you deserve it and i know that you need it:
even the best can't be great on their own.
