This art and passion that we pursue,
Is bigger than me and bigger than you.
Caught up in my selfish dreams and desires
I lose site of the bigger picture around me
Stealing away the spirit and quenching the fire
That I hold within, just waiting to be set free.
This art and passion that we pursue,
Is bigger than me and bigger than you.
Taking the time to remind myself that I’m just a piece
In this puzzle that encompasses us all.
That this talent and these dreams are all just on lease
No two found to be identical.
And if I could just stop comparing the difference in life’s decor
I’d see that we all stand on the giants that came before.
This art and passion that we pursue,
Is bigger than me and bigger than you.
Our art reaches up to touch the stars;
A giant universe of artists expanding ever so far.
And as I cast my eyes to implore the vastness before me
My eyes are often met with the darkness that surrounds me.
The bright light of a few giants imbues inside a sense of jealousy,
A sense of envy and pride that only brings us all down.
Instead of inspiring a word to create a smile from a frown,
I consign to clamor against fellow artists and drown
Out that truth that lies hidden inside.
So a chord is struck and my thoughts begin to collide
Breaking apart the lies, as myself I begin to chide,
Converging to the question of why can’t I be joyous
In knowing I have a song to offer to this grand chorus.
This art and passion that we pursue,
Is bigger than me and bigger than you.
If I could refocus my vision to the position I’m in,
Take away the ever present judging eye,
And see the greatness that is developing within,
I’d find that hidden truth I can’t deny.
This bid for fortune and fame
Is not the only way to play this game.
This art and passion that we pursue,
Is bigger than me and bigger than you.
A choice is made and a path outlined;
A roadmap amidst the stars formalized.
As I travel and grow I will confidently find
My truth in art realized.
This art and passion that we pursue,
Is bigger than me and bigger than you.
