Art's built in the highest sky

But it gives the world a why

It makes its way right down to earth

And with beauty's hope answers its cry

The world can be a better place

Where we do more than sigh

In us lives something higher

Than a passing urge that dies

The body is a thing of earth

With its own loud kind of why

But the mind is a more nuanced guide

That brings color to our grey days, our struggles and our tries

.

The body is a passing thing, they say

That cannot defy time 

But there's a thing that's timeless 

It comes down from the sky

It is a thing called beauty

It outlasts all urges wild 

It can't be defined with simple words 

But it's love in disguise

The mind is a funny thing

It cannot walk, just fly

It's powers can be hard to see 

But it fights not with guns or fists but insights kind and wise
