Truth Among Ashes - Acceptance

Love connects us all
Through experience and shared growth
We all live on the same planet
Breathing the same air
Time will always flow
Doesn't matter who tries to slow it
We are all the same
Equal parts pleasure and pain

I am not awake
Life, it feels just like a dream
When I'm in love
Acceptance, it is all we've got
We are not alone
The universe, so very full
Of endless love
For you

Our hearts are just like gardens
Fueled by the rivers flow
Love is the sun that guides us
And helps our flowers grow

If you stare at the sun for too long
You might find yourself blind

Love is the thing that drives us
To do the worst of things
Love is so very dangerous
It comes with fear and pain

If you fly far too close to the sun
You might find that your wings have just melted right away

You'd have to see things through my eyes
To truly understand
But I'm not asking for your understanding
Just acceptance
It's a losing fight for every side
Don't you realize
They're not asking for your permission
Just acceptance

Hate is the thing that's driving us into the ground
Ignorance plagues our children
Taught at a young age
Indoctrination of our youth
Fear mongers faces on the news
Misinformation, blatant lies, and deepfakes, too

I shouldn't have to hide my face
This doesn't have to be

I am not awake
Life, it feels just like a dream
When I'm in love
Acceptance, it is all we've got
We are not alone
The universe, so very full
Of endless love
For you

You'd have to see things through my eyes
To truly understand
But I'm not asking for your understanding
Just acceptance
It's a losing fight for every side
Don't you realize
They're not asking for your permission
Just acceptance

Love connects us all
Love connects us all
Love connects us all
Love connects us all
