There’s an animal within us
Who has its wants and desires
It wants to raise a happy family
Important things to acquire
We must stand behind the plow
And push it through the mire
Security is the dream
Time is sold as to a buyer
Toil away in the bottomland
Hoping for a little rest
Run away for a while
Return when you’re unstressed
There’s a delight above it all
Higher heights that can be reached
Inspiration makes its home there
Things that man can never teach
Hold on tight to those who help you
Reach a place your heart can soar
Release the muse dwelling in you
Help your spirit to explore
We dare not fear the soaring heights
A flower yearns to reach the sun
Wanting to display its beauty
With roots in earth where life begun.
