Known

He heard the word…
“I know that it feels hard and it’s so tough now,
But if you would hold on change is coming”
And it moved him to tears
It brought a glimpse of light to what seemed deem
Someone knows, he thinks…
Cause he feels alone…

Carrying what most never understand
Words that part his lips born through pain
A view of life he cannot at time convey
It is far bigger than you, he hears God say
But he feels at times he carries it alone
Sometimes those that walk with him just don’t understand

I see God in you they say, yet so quick they run away
“I know that it feels hard…” a feeling he tries to hide
It’s hardier than you think, the call he walks alone
Cause sometimes its only God that can understand
Cause friends don’t realize that sometimes they are all he has
And their turns, and words cut deeper than they know

And he bares the reproach…
Of the dislike of strangers who can’t understand the justice in his poetry
They’d rather have service and go home feeling good
Crying silently, I only told them what I hear You say
The reproach…
Of leaving a nation he has always known
Aren’t their people you can help, here!

He heard the word…
“I know that it feels hard and it’s so tough now,
But if you would hold on change is coming”
And it waits for direction…
Realizing that the one who speaks thinks higher than man
And that sometimes it’s only Him that can hold his hand…
He thinks…You know me!
