Trouble comes and trouble goes
It's how we handle it that shows
Just how much our humanity grows
In the face of absolute destruction

Sometimes our pains rains like hail
Upon the trail we seek to walk
Or the heights we seek to scale

But nothing can stop the spirit that sets sail
Attempting to rise above
humanities depravities
There to be seen as something inspirational
For truth and truth alone alone
Is something that we shall bemoan
As something that's yours and yours alone
But it's not something that you need to own....
   ...FOREVER!

If you can sever ties and lift your hopes toward the skies
And ask yourself for your forgiveness

No one can redeem your cost...
... As long as it is lost
And without any value

Cast It off as the old...
... something that you were sold
When you believed what you were told

Something  now you realize...
... is that which you now despise
Because you opened up your eyes

To see what you can be
No matter what some fallacy
Has set all it's weight upon your fragile being

So you yourself knows what it takes
To disregard all of your mistakes
The truth is yours alone for seeing

You can rise up on gossamer wings
To show all those who need to know
That hope is Everlasting

Where everyone can achieve
Anything that they conceive
By pushing out any and all doubt
That blocks what you believe

Just remember that doubt always fails...
... To hold back the spirit that truly sails ...and that hope is everlasting.
