How many times does a heart have to ache

How many times does a heart have to ache

Before we realize it’s for Natures sake

How many loves does one have to loose

Before he wakes up and above the ego choose

How much pain does one have to go through

Before he realizes that it’s not about you

If all of reality is a reflection of our desire

That builds in intensity catching it on fire

Then why does man hold on to ways that bring such pain

Feeling inside like someone else controls the reins

One minuet he’s on high loving his brothers

And in the very next he is abusing all the others

Why is it that man seems helpless to change

When you look from the outside in it all seems so strange

The only constant that is found within

Is that there is none else besides Him!
