She could have given up
but she picked up a guitar
instead of that

Everything was on fire
Home stopped being a safe place
where to go when you are told
you are what's wrong?

If you hear how she sounds
you will understand
You may feel the pain
and you may want to cry
but she kept saying
"you have to try"

Art saves us all
and that's exactly what she does
when she gets the microphone

She has something
you can teach or buy

I swear
as she opened her mouth
I quickly realized
that many of us
needed that voice,
that advice

Sometimes you just
don't feel strong enough
but you can take her words
and make them yours

I know it can get
hard sometimes
and is really easier to
take the dark path

But now I'm sure that
even when you are alone
there's no need to think that's all
'cause there's always
a message of hope

She once told me
Keep writing
keep feeling
keep sharing
and never give up

And those words
made me smile

Life is a journey
of obstacles

And I think,
I remember my past...
my life was a mess

I could have given up
but instead
I wrote about what
made me feel bad
