Can We Move Ourselves Poem by Ian Clark

Can we move ourselves,
in a new direction prove ourselves
Without inspection
Building bridges by your door
That will last for evermore
Can we move ourselves, anymore

Can we find ourselves in our reflection
see behind the mask
without a hint of deception
Cast you line out far and wide
Embrace what’s real and step inside
Can we find ourselves, anymore

Can we bind ourselves,
hold it altogether
pull all the strings
to remind each other
step out into the great unknown
holding hands while Stepping stones
Can we bind ourselves, anymore

Are you happy with your lot
Happy what you’ve got
Do you stutter and stall
With your back to the wall
Do you live in content
in time more or less spent
Watching the world pass by
Never wondering why
Do we want the truth anymore
Do we need the truth anymore

Can we bend ourselves
, towards the truth
take all the facts
Without needing proof
What it is we really need
To break the chains and set us free
Can we bend ourselves, anymore

Can we blend ourselves
All together as one
lend ourselves
where we should all belong
floating in and out of space
Back to our rightful place
Can we blend ourselves, anymore

Are you happy with your day
what the world has to say
can you play along with the game
As long as you’re ok
are you immune to it all
As you creep and crawl
watching the world pass by
without wondering why
Do we want the truth anymore
Do we need the truth anymore

what are we doing
why are we here
do we bow down
live our lives in fear

what are we playing
what is the game
do we all sit back
and hang our heads in shame

where are we going
what have we done
do we always look down
the barrel of a gun
what have we learned
how much do we know
give us one more chance
to buy back our soul

look inside your hearts
you might see
we are not too far apart
what it is, we really need
