We itch and growl
'Oh the pain is too much,
why can't it just end?'

But why don't we look towards the things more true than we will ever know?

The light within the sun
the love we hold dearly
the comforts of home
for if more people cared less of the pleasures
and more of their comforts
the world would indeed be a much lovelier place
full of the hope and love we crave
and carve our poetry into today.

It's just waiting.
waiting for you to take it
to hold it dear
against your beating heart
your thriving soul
for that is the truth that lies behind our shadow covered walls we build
the safe protection that is really our downfall.

Hold onto family, hopes and dreams
do not give up dear friend
let go of the hardships and struggle
lay it all down
for if you truly want peace
you'll stop running from it
and turn to Him.
