HOW AM I TO BE

How am I to be
When so much is new?
So much feels broken
And falling through
Through life’s noise
I try this way
With silence at the start
And the end of every day

Give a little away
See what might return
Light your flame
A flame no life will ever burn
Give a little more
See what might return
Little bridges on our road
And always more to learn

And how are we to be
When every street is so sore?
Struggling to keep
The wolves away from the door

Through life’s noise
I try this way
In silence at the start
And the end of every day
