Part 1: Root
Today
Say that what happens today,
Will remain
In the chamber of forever.
Say that every echo I make,
Will reach the ears
Of some far off butterfly.
Let me flutter by;
Let me step light
And speak soft.
Let me see beauty,
In the eyes of everyone.
Let me feel the hand of god,
In every little action.
Let me shine constant,
Like a star
That never dies.
