I dream to be more than I am.
The dream to become another one.
The one who wants to make things right.
So I always tried to be shined with the light.

Tonight I will write something that I might like,
That may allow me to take flight.
and show you what its like.
To be a boy who wanted to be a man.

Go to the light.
Its the right path they say.
It where you will find the way.
The summit, the peak, the end.
and claim everything.

But the darkness calls me
and I couldn't do a thing.
It wanted me to stay.
Like i'm its prey.

No matter how fast I run it pulls me back.
Now I realize that to be a man.
I needed a plan.
Because going through the dark
is not like a walk in the park.
I might need to crawl.
and bump into a wall.
but It wont stop me
because in the end I need to stand tall.
for darkness is just part of the journey.
A path to make, A chance to take.
So that boy may be able to become a man.
Thanks!
