HE CAN SAVE YOU The only soul in a crowded street In the busy shadows of disbelief Loneliness has no time to waste On a man with purpose The rain falls thick Harsh on his tender skin Eyes closed with the heat of rejection Heart pounding with the sound of fear Look up at the sky says his conscience Look up at me I’ll save you if you let me Voices drive him crazy Telling him he’s a fool to be who he is Why he can’t change is the same reason Everyone else can. He is who he is Because it’s who he wants to be Who he’s meant to be Look up at me I’ll save you if you let me How long he will survive Is the bet they place It’s only a matter of time Before he’s one of them Before his face resembles theirs Before he forgets love Before he cannot feel, cannot see All that will set him free “Almost too easy”, he tells himself “But that’s not who I am” Look up at me I’ll save you if you let me I am everything you are afraid to be I am everything you want to be I am all heart and soul Clean mind clear thought No lies, no greed No hate, no constant “Me” I am who I want to be All because I let him save me
