We all search to find
an answer
In this cluttered world
we call life.

Not all is forgiven
and some end in despise
But don't you think it's over
and remember the wise

An elderly women
once gave me
some helpful advice
You know what she told me?
To take back control
of my life.

Nobody makes the right decisions
in the beginning of time
Those mistakes lead us
to an inevitable climb

Always remember
life gives and life takes
sometimes leaving us blind
to the simplest of problems
we spend oh so much time

I learned a lesson today
be patient with life
It doesn't always give you
what you'd like

But it will surprise you
every time you shut your eyes
Welcoming you to a world
blanketed in disguise

A place only capable
Inside of our minds

Hold fast to dreams
Cause we'll forget in time
