Who Are You

Are you the wind beneath the trees
or perhaps the figure in the dark
are you the object that no one sees
or maybe the unspoken remark

do you appear and complete a task
then just as soon you disappear
are you the question we dare to ask
and the truth we dare not to hear

are you in the corner of every room
watching as the world goes by
are you the child inside the womb
when the child is destined to die

do you exist in everything living
and know you'll never be found
do you know there's no forgiving
a man who claim to own the ground

are you the thing that slides past
that people think they've seen
are you both the first and the last
and the thing that's never been

are you masked in true disguise
do you hide in tears and laughter
are you dismissed as only lies
and then reappear so soon after

are you the thing people search for
but that will never truly find
until the day they search no more
is that the future of mankind
