A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS
Poem By: Billy Alsbrooks
____________________________
You are a thousand splendid suns
But is the word no, bigger than your dream?
Let us master the four winds and the art of living
While destiny puts on her wedding dress
____________________________
You are the wish that you’ve been wishing
But the mountains are waiting, daring for you to climb
Let us love in color and paint the invisible
For the gold you seek is buried in struggle
For the gold you seek is buried in struggle
____________________________
You are the flame that won’t stop burning
But it’s time to renounce the republic of false truths
Let us awaken to the power within us
Leaving the world of whispers, as we inherit the promise
____________________________
You are everything that they weren’t
But it’s time to live FROM the dream, instead of FOR it
Let us become the circus of wonders
For the moment of your betrayal is near
For the moment of your betrayal is near
A thousand splendid suns…
