All We Are

lyrics poetry

All We Are
ALL WE ARE
GRAB A PIECE OF PAPER AND
YOUR FAVORITE PEN
PLACE THEM ON THE TABLE,
HERE'S WHERE WE BEGIN

TAKE YOUR TRUSTY INK PEN
FIRMLY IN YOUR HAND
AND IN THE CENTER PLACE A DOT
AS SMALL AS YOU CAN
SET THE INK PEN DOWN AND
GAZE UPON THE DOT
THINK LONG AND HARD,
FOCUS ALL YOUR THOUGHT
THIS IS OUR EXISTENCE,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK FAR
IN COMPARISON TO GOD,
THIS IS ALL WE ARE
NOW MUSTER THAT REBELLION,
LIKE YOU YOU'ST TO DO
THINK ON YOUR OWN,
MAKE UP YOUR OWN TRUTH
QUESTION GOD'S AUTHORITY,
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN
IGNORE THAT HUMILITY
REQUIRED BY GOD'S HAND
IS THIS DOT GOING TO LIVE,
AND STAY ON THAT PAGE?
AFTER THE PAPER IS OLD AND
DESTROYED BY IT'S AGE?
THIS MAY MAKE YOU DEFENSIVE,
YOU MAY GET ANGRY OR HOT
BUT ONLY STUBBORNNESS MAKE A
MAN THINK HE'S MORE THAN THIS DOT
NO MATTER HOW YOU TURN THE PAGE,
THE DOT WILL NEVER GROW
CAUSE WITHOUT THE GUIDANCE OF THE LORD,
AND THIS IS ALL WE KNOW
