Somebody Worth Knowing

We all follow the same quest—

To love each other and to be void of hate.

I want to be there with you—pick you up when you fall

And be there to say good morning when you wake.

We all want to be loved and to have a good night’s sleep—

To find happiness and to be swept off our feet.

I want you to take my hand and guide me through the dark,

Show me what it’s like to have something worth protecting,

Remind me of the sanctity I have forgotten.

I want to know what it feels like to fight—

To have my body broken and my face beaten,

For these thoughts I carry will never be enough,

And I will never know what it is I left behind.
