We are calling you to come back home-
to wake, to say the storm is over.
We’ll bring you comforts from the deep world-
A life too short to live it sober.
Or have you been in Oz too long,
accustomed to the colors?
When you’re living only to consume all,
why would you choose a world of grey?
In a moment, you’re just like the rest-
accepting numbers on a wire.
What is this weakness?
Do you speak less
when others truly need your fire?
Submerge yourself again,
beneath the current.
You’ll need a warriors heart
to brave the dark.
Or have you been in Oz too long,
accustomed to the colors?
When you’re living only to consume all,
why would you choose a world of grey?
Sunshine, sunshine,
when did you get so proud?
Too proud to come home
