BARE WEAKNESSES

BARE WEAKNESSES

Let it be known of our weaknesses

Yet behold we lay bare

Bear to the world

We are shoulder to shoulder

Bolder and bolder

Brighter and brighter

We’ve lain bare

Our hearts

Our minds

Our souls

Our bodies

But did you care?

Have you cared?

Can you care?

Could you have cared?

We’ve dared

We’ve been scared

We’ve been scarred

But never are we hard

We’re tender to the touch

Here within we love so much

We’d love you to the end

We’ve endured suffering

We’ve lain bare everything

But we’ve learnt

Endured

Ensured

We’ve cherished

But we will not perish

We are sublime

That’ll last an eternal time
