If it be that I am dust, Then I have thrived against the odds Fickle and frail, weak and wonky, I’ve outlived days, hot and windy From scary heights I landed unbroken Mine’s a tale of success often unspoken ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ If it be that I am dust Then our paths must have crossed, While you marched your way to fame Oh please! Don’t reminisce with shame That I who you would not notice Is become your place of solace ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ If it be that I am dust Then heaven must be just, To shed torrents of tears on me Trampled, battered, used and dirty, Famed as the dreary curse of deserts, My plight has touched celestial hearts ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ If it be that I am dust Then I have steel in my crust I have borne the weight of the earth And survived the heat of the hearth I endured the storm and gale, Still I remain whole and hale ★★★★★★★★★★★★★ If it be that I am dust And yet my place is not lost, The truth must lie in that breath divine How else could these many feats be mine Since it is that I am but dust, I have no need for prideful lust ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ |
