Unfinished Song (Literally)

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

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
