Calm and quiet on the surface
A storm brewing within
A picture of perfect beauty
Something lurking beneath
The many faces of the truth
And the hidden lies
The pride of blood relations
Shame of secret ties
Familiarity with the popular
Ignorance of the familiar
Following the great leaders
But setting no example
Chasing childhood dreams
Growing up realities
The joy in everything
The fading enthusiasm
Lonely hearts, lonely prayers
Hoping for life’s miracles
Always an underlying struggle
The story of the lives we live
