Above & Beyond

Above & Beyond,

I look to the skies

I look to the tides that roll inside of the waters

And see that it paints a picture

A vivid portrait of the beauty that

Life conveys.

Above & Beyond,

I look in the mirror

Who's the realest of them all?

Is it me, them, or God?

Am I conceited

Or fed up with my appearance?

Do you love me like you say you do

Or are you waiting for me to be gone

Just to tell me?

Above & Beyond,

Grasping the concept of what

The world truly is.

I want to be able to feel the winds blow

Wanting to hear the hum of the rain

When it pours

Or the droplets of the snow

As it freezes the concrete.

A glass I can see through

Oh, so clearly

It's like seeing through a periscope

But not the one you livestream with.

Above & Beyond,

Why don't you take me away

From all this?
