HUMILITY
Author Demetrius HOWARD
Music Tristan GIOVANOLI
Everyday I breathe
I am humbled to still be.
Every smile I see
it touches me.
For much pain has humbled me.
Many tears I've seen
because people want peace.
The humility that is whithin me
comes from God, you see.
The darkness and pain I see
Going on around the world
trembles me.
My spirit and soul has no peace.
My mind can't rest.
No pleasureable sleep.
Unrest I feel
because of all the hurt
and pain around me.
Family broken apart,
mothers and children hungry.
Sick with disease, dying painfully,
because the humility in caring is lost,
replaced with blinded eyes
of unfeeling selfish deeds.
The humility in you buried within.
But my humility will bring you to life.
