I know it must be painful
to fall from hopes so high
Dangerously staggering
on the cliff’s edge of goodbye
Laughter is amiss
Love is an afterthought
Harmony is forgotten
Peace has long been lost
I know you must be tired
of sinking in your faith
Drowning in forbidden dreams
and fighting for your place
Security never lasts
long after storms have blown
How long will you be content
with your purpose out on loan?
I know you’re feeling crazy
Seeing them living your intentions
Wishing you could make them
recognize your own ambition
Staring through the crowd
Wondering if you’ll ever really fit
Perhaps; anything could happen
After all, you can only go up from here.
