Look outside your window Step outside your world Listen to other people As they share their words For there’s a world out there Different from your own There’s a world out there Waiting to be known So step out and learn Reach out and share Open your eyes, your ears Your mind, your heart For the story of success Is not played out inside your room The goal of progress Is not reached by staying home If you want world peace You’ve got to fight the urge to stay In your little world Stuck in your good old ways If you want the world to change Then you must stir things up You must move yourself And reach out For there’s a world out there Different from your own There’s a world out there Waiting to be known

Unfinished Song (Literally)

I Didn't Know You Well Enough
I didn't know you well enough
Didn't know your favorite color was pink
Didn't know whom you lived with
What you did
When you weren't with me
Who you were
When your guard was down
Beneath the layers
You chose to reveal
What you dreamed of
Ached for
What you're made of
I didn't know you well enough
Didn't have enough of you
Didn't hear enough speeches
Didn't hear enough stories
Didn't spend enough time
Before you left
So abruptly
Too early
Didn't know this was coming
Didn't try hard enough
To reach out to you
To know you
Didn't share all I wanted to tell
Didn't tell all I wanted you to hear
Didn't say goodbye
Didn't get the chance
And now no amount of wishing
Can give me time with you
No amount of regret
Can bring back time
This tragic death
Is suffered not by the one who's gone
But by the ones left behind
Those who didn't know you well enough
