lyrics

[KNOWING WHY YOU WRITE]

In order to not scratch the surface
I think you have to write with purpose

Do you want to heal?
Help another person feel?
Spread the love of God?
Or share some other way you’re awed/odd?

Do you want to rewrite history?
Make known the universe’s mystery?
Give a real voice to pain?
Or merely entertain?

We each have our motivation
Our genesis and our causation
And though they may evolve
It’s always the reason we involve

Ourselves in the act of creation
That acts as our foundation
The fire in our hearts
That we turn into art
