Because We're Beautiful

For what am I
if not a graceful willow
for what are you
if not the wind that dares blow
what are we if not the wisdom to know
and what is life if not the soil where we grow
and I can see
that we both learn and teach
and it’s all Because We’re Beautiful
in our complexity
what am I...if not the chance of thunder
what are you...if not the ocean under
and what are we if not the gift of challenge
for what is life if not the dance of balance
and I can see that we both learn and teach
and it’s all because we’re beautiful
in our diversity
(change) and I sigh
all because of you
and I cry...I scream...I laugh
all because of you
and you smile, all because of me
and you ask why...you’re down...you’re high
all because of me
and I can see that we both learn and teach
and it’s all because we’re beautiful
in our inequities
