"Power"
Powerless?
Try power yes!
Like tiger's jaw
We all have strength no matter what
Like the babes' cry out
We work with what we've got
That power tool in your hand means you can construct
That switch on the wall means you can light things up
The slave's powerful hands are used by the owner to till the field
But his real power lies in the hymns that help him heal
And the songs that keep him smiling while chains tie down his feet
And when he looks up and his companions tender eyes meet
The power of the lion is ever present even when he sprawls in the sun
His mighty paw looses nothing by resting when the day is done
The might of the great oak lies not in what you see
But in the strong deep roots below the tree
The power of an ax is nothing in itself, without the arms to wield it, no tool can ever help
The strength of those muscles is feeble if they never pull their weight
Only moving and repeating can ever change their state
