From the moment that I began to think and conceive

That there was more to life and began to believe

That just maybe there was a little more to live for

I found a curious habit of opening up every door

My thirst drove me on and on in a search for the more

The more than never came no matter how much I would drink

The thoughts that never came despite the times I would think

Driven by an obsession to learn and be all that I could

Until finally I was driven onto my knees in a last minute reprieve

And salty tears through prayers led to me to what I could believe

That there waiting for me all of this time since my youth

Was the one and only shred to hang onto as eternal truth

And so I delivered myself  to the sacred in that burning desert

Embracing the light in the midst of a world filled with hurt
