Make it, grow it, feel it
Love it, work it, do it
Say it, mean it, be it
Hold it, caress it, endure it
Question it, solve it, understand it
Nurture it, direct it, protect it
Smile for it, live for it, die for it
Cry for it, blush for it, never deny it

So many little tests
Presented with we contend
Understanding the risks
Of the chances we take
To take that chance
Should we prevail or fail
Some failures beat us
Down
Into the depths
And we may never be the same again
Some successes also
Make us never the same again
Because we've gotten so high off of it
We cannot see straight
I've made a lot of money before
And it has made me arrogant, ungrateful, and wasteful
I've also been broke and poor
It made me more appreciative, understanding, and productive
The middle ground that works for all of us
Is an individual thing
Prevail or Fail
Is nothing more than a perspective
Life is a game we play with no clear winners
But if you keep love in your heart
It doesn't matter how broke or rich you are
You have prevailed

This reoccurring  problem
That continues to trouble me
Is fighting my own destiny
Mostly
It is because of other's expectations
Of what they think I'm supposed to do with my life
But their perspective is not mine
Maybe what I do
Isn't going to make everyone happy
But I need to focus and search for
What will make me happy
I need to accept my destiny
And choose to be happy with it

I will be your hero
Let me save you from yourself
I will hold you tightly
In my arms and in my soul
The affection I have for you
Will never grow old
You are the final piece
That completes me
Saving you will save me too
Let me be a real man
A good man
Your partner, lover, and friend
Let me be your hero
We can fight fear and loneliness together
I will give you 100% of my everything
If you will have me
I will be yours
Always
