Steemit Openmic Claraty Week 63 (Original We Were There)

We Were There

We were there, inside the womb
and we had waited, waited for the new moon
And they had said a day would come to stop the fighting
So we wept for this had happened before

Oh we all looked up
To the ones who held the light
Follow panther through the darkness as he guided our way
And we stuck it out
Shedding scales on the ground taken by the earth

And we did what we could, then we let it go
And they filled our souls with a deep sorrow
The one thing we held in our hearts was hope

We were there when the eagle spread his wings
We were there, when the dolphins got to sing
We were there, when the world rearranged
We were there

Buried in the soil was a tiny leaf that promised
Fertile ground was made by ashes and watered by hope
Like the butterfly beauty found itself in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night

And we did what we could then we let it go
And they filled our souls with a deep sorrow
The one thing we held in our hearts was hope

Bridge: so many lost along the way, no finding answers
for the path is lined with thorns
forefathers rollin in their graves
for it wasn't ever meant to be that way

But we were there
we were there
oohhh
