With this world in mind,
We strive for goals,
Always on the fast track,
Don’t want to fall behind
Or judgment will come
By the hands of others
Comparing each to the next.
And so we will mindlessly go on
Never questioning
Never wavering
From this single-minded thinking

And our goals do not satisfy
As instant gratification
Is here in an instant and gone in the next.
Yet moving from goal to goal,
We’re blind
To the emptiness,
To the complacency,
That we fall into.
This rut,
Which becomes a well,
So deep,
That light is but a speck,
When we dare to look up.

And the thought
That we're comfortable,
Our place is at this bottom,
Takes over,
And we think this is normal.

But for those who dare to look beyond,
The recognition of something more,
Something greater,
Something better,
Something that is good.
For those who realize,
We are so deep down,
We are so low,
Are pulled back up,
Out of "normal",
Into a presence,
Of something else.
An indescribable force,
That judges
But forgives,
That sacrifices
To redeem,
That takes my life
To save it.
