Revelation

If I could reach the stars and talk to God,
I will ask him to hide my wound.
I will ask him to catch the biggest and brightest
Star and put it next to your heart;
You can feel the warmth of mine.

If I could walk toward the East
And find the truth in its teaching,
I would like to know why some disciples
Don't put into practice what they are told.

I wish I could follow your Eastern path
And see what is behind it.
I wish I could read your soul
And know what your truth is all about.

Understanding human nature is complex.
We have our own way of studying every situation
And observing what is out there.
It seems that most everyone is in for their own game.
Mothers don't want their children to leave their nest
Because they'll have nobody else to talk with;
Children, afraid of the unknown,
Prefer to stay in a safer place.
