The Giver

To live a life in solidarity Is to mean sadness perpetually echoing inside ones head In solitude you find the meaning of true self A state of mind untouched by the world Confined within your thoughts When all is as one To be the giver you must learn a hard truth The world will only take what you possess To be the giver you must know it is of poverty From the outside looking in But to self it is your riches And when hearts are cruel you are kind in spite of all To be the giver smallness is to be tall Remain in a state of humility And implore the dream To be the giver you must know it is of poverty From the outside looking in But to self it is your riches And when hearts are cruel you are kind in spite of all To be the giver smallness is to be tall And when it seems the world has won You will remain unbroken within External forces cannot penetrate What lies within the hearts of those in solitude The night is darkest just before the dawn And when you feel forsaken that's when you cannot turn back To be the giver you must know it is of poverty From the outside looking in But to self it is your riches And when hearts are cruel you are kind in spite of all To be the giver smallness is to be tall
