Life; I embrace you.
Lend me your calm sea and stormy nights
Give me the stars and the moon
I want the sunsets and the sunrises
I need your roses, and the thorns, too.
Life; I embrace you.
Lend me your anger and jealousy
Give me your helpless cries in the night
I want fear and loneliness
I need your pain, and your suffering, too.
Life; I embrace you.
Lend me your books and your blank pages
Give me your stage and your audience
I want your poetry and your used pens
I need your music, and your simple silence, too.
Life; I embrace you.
Lend me your trust and hope
Give me your happiness and love
I want your laughter and hugs
I need your peace, and acceptance, too.
Life; I embrace you.
Lend me the courage to stand up for myself
Give me the strength to reach out to others
I want your understanding, because I am not perfect
I need you, for the chance to make a difference.
