Who’s there, yearning, in pain

In the dark of my past

I look behind and see

The silhouettes of the many

From whose dreams I was born

I feel their unrealized needs

In the needs of my present

What they have not let go of

Holds me now, outside of my life

I see you, I say

I’m sorry, I say

This is yours, I say

I lay their burdens at their feet

Look them deeply in their eyes

Thank you for dreaming my life

I’ve got it from here
