What can I do to make you see
what the world can truly be
and the endless possibilities
that are out there for you, and me.
What can I do to make you smile
for you to sit back and stay awhile,
to get you out of your comfort zone,
to show you that you're not alone.
What can I do to make you laugh
about something other than your crumbling path,
why can't I help you open your eyes
to look ever so slightly on the brighter side.
Just get up.
Get up, and feel the thrill of being alive,
I want you to be your best and thrive.
Just wake up.
Wake up, from this hazy nightmare,
wade through the depths of your own despair.
If you ever get there,
come and find me.
I'll be waiting beneath the old willow tree.
It's the one filled with memories
of what is and what used to be.
Under the constellations of wonder and awe,
by the sea of emotions, ever jagged and raw.
Its roots are etched into my bone and skin,
for it's part of who I am and what lies within.
I want you to meet me there,
in the lands that lie beyond your despair.
I'll be waiting, ever fading
for you to see what I can't bear to know
that it's up to you, there's nothing I can do.
Time will pass, what will it have to show?
