Tell me I can’t

and I’ll show you

how to find the sun

behind the storm that brews

just out of sight



Tell me the world is dark

and I’ll show you

how to find all the colors

that hide in the purple haze

between us



Tell me you’re scared

and I’ll show you

how to find the courage

that fortifies a connection

we will always share



And all the while

I’m daring you, daring you,

to embrace the warrior within

Tell me you can

Tell me
