There are lessons I've been taught
Journeys leaving me distraught
I'm hurt by all that I have lost
I see the pain, I know the cost
There may be joy but it is hidden
By my every last transgression
I am followed constantly
By a future coming to be
It can be true it can be fact
That there is no coming back
But I must fight, I know not why
It's worth it is my one reply
I cannot find a single fault
In any of this earth's salt
I'd blame myself if I could
My inner self demands I should
I wish and hope for better days
But more than that, amongst the haze
I'd rather have the two I had in doubt
Than learn to live without
It's a wise man who sees the forest
for the trees and in a chorus
sees the music not the words
despite the joy he has is cursed
it will take time and that's ok
time is merely yesterday
sometimes tomorrow and today
we all learn it goes away
just like pain cannot live
it's harder to receive than give
i need no test or score to show
that no may not always mean no
if you had one single chance
to take every single word back
would you do it and forfeit all
and make a single call?
it takes faith beyond recognition
and love and joy and dedication
do not forget the ones who loved
and no matter what don't shove
everyone has a limit
even if they would never admit it
i try not to but i'm torn
because i'm tired and i'm worn
i have beliefs and i have knowledge
one does not need to see college
to know the world has many wonders
and just as many world class blunders
there are traps and there are treasures
each one stronger beyond measure
it's easier to be than see
that i'd be yours if you saw me
i'll try to wait and try to fight
the darkness can't overshadow light
it's like a parable or play
we watch unfold everyday
so hold onto everything you have
don't let it go, you might not get it back
it takes one thing to lose it all
the cost is great, like a great wall
it keeps you out and shows you naught
it makes you wonder what you've sought
you're kept out and it becomes too much
and soon you're left without a crutch
take stock in every thing you've got
don't let it go despite the cost
it's easier to lose than win
it's harder to finish than begin
