Commonality in Humanity

Perception is blinding, it's based on the past
Resistance is fighting, the present in shift 
We are...
Finding commonality in humanity
and every living thing
There's meaning and opportunity
to open and up and see
with new understanding

Expanding, creating, we're serving the whole
Still working and playing in a changing world
We are...
Finding commonality in humanity

and every living thing

There's meaning and opportunity

to open and up and see

with new understanding

Thankful in blessings

Hopeful in healing

Praying, revealing

Giving, receiving

Finding commonality in humanity

and every living thing

There's meaning and opportunity

to open and up and see

with new understanding

Naked

Is there a way to rid myself of the looming guilt in being human?
Is there a time when I will be blind and not want to hide when I'm naked?
And the leaves fall off
when a bite is taken
I love my God
But I'm only human
And naked
I'm naked

Is there no shame in playing the game and living this life to the fullest?
I give and take and try to behave I'm out here and making a difference
But the leaves fall off
when a bite is taken
I love you God
And I'm only human
Here naked
I'm naked

So what is this just one big test?
I'm prone to run towards the dangling carrot
I sow I grow and give it all
I read I feed but still I need to feeeeeeeeel loved to feeeeeeel full and feeeeel that I am loved by you

When the leaves fall off
And a bite taken
I love you God
And I'm only human
Here naked
I'm naked
Naked before you
Naked after you
Naked and seeking truth
Fully dressed and over this
So why am I still feeling that I'm naked?
