We Are Not Measured

Like drops in the endless ocean
We have our roll to play
Ripples vary within the expanse of time
But there is a place, for us I think you'll find
Life is like the ripples upon the open sea

Beside the valley the river runs so deep
How is it that my soul can sleep
Restless as I am inside
Is there solitude beside the fire
Will we hide from our own desire

We were not born with gold and rings
Nor were we fit like kings

Look at what we have accomplished
By our great deeds
Sown by all our plentiful seeds
Sown in the times that we've all cared

Ripples may vary, as we all know
But we are not measured
By our deeds alone
