He and I

We bare the same shadow

In the darkness

Pooling beneath our eyes

The dull light

That shines in the blue

He knows the road I walk

For he walks it too

Always there

Behind me

Not following

Guiding

Pushing

Always pushing

Be better

Do better

Know yourself

Chase the sun

But remember the moon

Fall if you have to

But always rise

Rise above it all

He and I

We are born of the same cradle

But different hands tendered our earth

We bare the same shadow

Each day it looms a little longer

a little darker

I through a coin and beg

That we’ll awake one day

and wipe the darkness from our eyes

Feel the sun on our faces

and for once

we won’t burn

But fly
