The Man With The Key In His Hand

He said ‘take the time to indulge…

To find the space in your day, in your heart, in your mind

Wherever it is that your soul resides,

Search for a place to stop thinking and start being

To embrace the layers that are full of light and knowledge’

He said it would bring an understanding

That would ultimately set me free

He said all this…

The man with the key in his hand.


He said ‘be aware of your dark side and that of others…

It has its purpose, its aim, and its compelling attraction

Search for the meaning behind it

To reveal its secrets and harness its power,

Recognise the difference between feelings and emotions

He said it would bring an acceptance

That would ultimately set me free

He said all this…

The man with the key in his hand.


He said ‘Life is full of awe and wonder…

If you know where to search

You might find it in work that fulfills and excites you

Or in the discovery of your true self,

Look within carefully and deeply’

He said it would bring an awareness

That would ultimately set me free

He said all this…

The man with the key in his hand.


He said ‘Patience is a lesson worth learning

For life can be tiring and sometimes dull

Recognise the value of the journey,

Reflect, use meditation, control destructive emotions

Make time to take care of your soul’

He said it would bring a contentness

That would ultimately set me free

He said all this…

The man with the key in his hand.


He said ‘There is a right way to live

Whenever possible promote and pursue truth,

Strive for peace and battle for justice

For sometimes a peaceful man has to take up his sword

Be afraid, embrace your fear, let it feed your flame

He said it would bring a courage

That would ultimately set me free

He said all this…
