The Key

THE KEY

We have the key, yes everyone has the key.
Every single cell of every plant, animal, human being,
has the key to the door, but have you opened it,
Do you dare?
What will you find there?
Maybe lessons learned that were jokes and illusions,
serious tipping of the scales,
one mans treasure is another mans trash,
one mans joke is another mans seriousness.

*
I ain’t your mama baby,
I barely even know her.
If I told you what to do, I was speaking my own truth,
maybe something that I said could mean more to you.

*
You can see right through me I feel that you do,
oh ....did you know that I can see through you too?
It’s the gold we have found, the web we have spun.
got to get started telling everyone!
My love for you goes deeper than anything I’ve seen before,
and the thousands become millions,
once we find that open door.
All eyes upon center, find the reason why,
leave your body to be entered, by yourself from the inside.

*
I’m a piece of the mama baby, this is true.
Guess I stepped into a role for you,
and there’s nothing left for me to do,
but see what happens when I move through.
Maybe I could mean more to you,
maybe I could mean more to you.

*
