Do You Know the Power That You Have?
Just a glance from the corner, the wink of an eye
an innocent brush as you try to squeeze by,
The smell of your hair and the sound of your sigh,
Do you know the power that you have?
A naive young man, in a nasty street fight
defending her honor, not wrong and not right
a possible death in the yellow street light.
Do you know the power that you have?
A child growing up is her fathers' true pride
always honest and loving, with nothing to hide.
Responsible still, for his feelings inside.
Do you know the power that you have?
From a lifetime of learning you now have to teach,
to the young and upcoming, success is their reach.
Dividing the portions of knowledge to each
Do you know the power that you have?
And now at the end, you lay there alone
no motion, no heart beat, no need for a home
drawing tears from the eyes of the loved ones that roam
Did you ever know the power that you had
