You were not born for the sidelines

 

You were not born for the sidelines, for the nose bleeders or the wings.

Raise the curtain, take the microphone, there’s a song you came to sing.

You were born with a message, you have something unique to share.

How can you surrender to your soul’s yearnings and make your life a moving prayer?

Your spot at the table is waiting, your seat has already been assigned.

Stop comparing yourself to others, you are one of a very unique kind.

Come out from the sidelines, from the nose bleeders and the wings.

Raise the curtain, take the stage, it’s your song you came here to sing.

Soul Inquiry:

How can you surrender to your soul’s yearnings and make your life a moving prayer?
