The Spark
Something that was true in the ancient world
And it's still true in our modern world
Is that every great civilization has been built on the backs of slaves
And what amazes me about this oft-ignored reality
Is that despite man's tendency towards evil, towards his "self"
I can still see his capacity for and I still have hope in his ability to do good
And this reminds me of something
That my mother always said when I was growing up
She always said, "Don't let the glimmer of gold
Shine brighter than the spark in your soul"
That's something that's always stuck with me
And it's still true in our modern world
Is that every great civilization has been built on the backs of slaves
And what amazes me about this oft-ignored reality
Is that despite man's tendency towards evil, towards his "self"
I can still see his capacity for and I still have hope in his ability to do good
And this reminds me of something
That my mother always said when I was growing up
She always said, "Don't let the glimmer of gold
Shine brighter than the spark in your soul"
That's something that's always stuck with me
