It's so hard to know what’s right.
Not what is good or evil,
But where my own line is drawn
Between action and stillness.
When is it right to speak up,
And when to deeply listen?
When does compromise become
Giving up my convictions?
I so believe that justice
Applies to more than just us.
Will the planet forgive me
What I have and haven’t done?
This is more than just a flower.
It's all there is or can be.
