City Lights, Country Stars
Open Roads, People Behind Locked Bars
Ready Hugs, Flying Fists
Life filled with contrasts
Unrelenting twists.
Free Flowing Rivers, Fortified Dams
Lives Bursting with Love, Support, and Grace.
Lives Empty, Wanting, Lost, Ridiculed
Searching the Crowd for one Friendly Face.
The Whole Wide World before us, for some
Their eye sees adventure and possibility.
The rest uncertainty, pain, fear, and calamity.
Every person searching for peace, joy, and purpose.
Family and friends to share the highs, the lows, the
unexpected blows.
Everyone different, Everyone the same.
Whatever our circumstance, we all need to call out
Just One Name.
