One Man

You, are only one man. 

You are ONLY one man. 

The cry of the defeated

Echoes through the halls of the mind of the depleted

Is it true? Am I stuck?

Do I quit pushing forward and just give up?

The histories show contrary

Late nights and failed plights adding block to the foundation of the sanctuary

So am I defeated?

Have my ambitions receded?

Should I lay down my arms and embrace the green ribbon I thought I needed?

You are only ONE man. 

Old lies, false ties

Comply to my demise

But my savior screams contrary-wise

You are only one man...

But I am with you. 

Confront your anguish!

Confront your pain!

Confront the parts of you that are dying or lame

Grab hold of your weakness

Corral your insecurities

Extinguish those black flames and make way to ignite your new destiny

Embrace strength in your left hand 

Embrace wisdom in your right

Let the fires of ambition take hold and burn in the night

Set your eyes to the horizon

For a new dawn is on the cusp

New motivation, new ambition

A new plight that you can trust

For dawn is here, so let the night be the night

Darkness gone, oh how I long

To reside in the light 

One step, then two

Farther up and further in and to him I clutch

Because, I am only one MAN

But together, we can accomplish much!
