There is a breeze that floats around you When you stare longingly at opportunity’s shoes They’re polished and ablaze with the colours of potential And your soles are aching as they breathe through rugged leather I know your feet can’t brave walking down the rocky path of regret But around you, there is an enchanting glow That pulls the wind as it lays down carpets of soil beneath your feet And as you hang your head low, Imagining the door that those glittering shoes would’ve taken you to Courage follows you like a distant shadow Your silent companion in pain Waiting to embrace you with its resilient air And as you long for reaching opportunity’s door Courage prepares its wings to carry you to a million more.

A Companion in Pain
There is a breeze that floats around you When you stare longingly at opportunity’s shoes They’re polished and ablaze with the colours of potential And your soles are aching as they breathe through rugged leather I know your feet can’t brave walking down the rocky path of regret But around you, there is an enchanting glow That pulls the wind as it lays down carpets of soil beneath your feet And as you hang your head low, Imagining the door that those glittering shoes would’ve taken you to Courage follows you like a distant shadow Your silent companion in pain Waiting to embrace you with its resilient air And as you long for reaching opportunity’s door Courage prepares its wings to carry you to a million more.
