Difference
Time makes fools of us all
You cannot outrun it, cannot change it
Let yourself ride the wave it places you on
It may push you further out beyond the sea
Where the difference becomes obvious to your mind
To make more of what you are
Let science take you beyond the limits of thought
Let them use their golden mechanical parts
Choose to make a difference
Stand out from the crowd if that is what you need
Wheels within wheels moving space, changing time
We turn; we spin our way through life
trying to keep up with the machines
Let them rebuild your broken body
Become the inner man you were meant to be
Let your mind tune in to the wonder that is you…
Anita Dawes and Jaye Marie
