we are judged too often
for seeing in color
and the differences all around
are you starting to follow?

try and connect with it all
open your eyes, just be free
why not apprecitate
everything you see?

even though you may feel
as if your efforts are too small
do you remember your mistakes
do you recall?

what needs to be done
when it comes to everyday life
is love everyone
is it too hard to try?

This is it
This is goodbye
I get it
Why even try

These clouded thoughts
As I think of what to say
To you
Before you leave me today

I miss the feelings
Knowing you were there
Thinking about me
When you close your eyes

Without you I am not quite sure
What to do
When the cold wind blows
Who knows where I will go

we built these walls
we built it all
we built these cities
we will one day, watch them fall

we hold it all in
we hold back the pain
we hold back the anger
we must learn, we must gain

we must learn
we must grow
we will in time
we will show

escape from the city
escape from the insanity
escape from these walls
escape from it all

together as one
fragile we were
still green to the world
so we ran with the lust

together as one
growing we were
are roots now deeper
this lust turned to love

together as one
as the years flew by
we created this life
a mother you now were

together as one
as our last days approach
what a life we both shared
together as one

I no longer,
live with doubt.
Because of this,
I am stronger.

These night winds,
howling.
In the distance,
the thunder claps.

These storms,
have left me with cracks.
Like scars,
from the past.

I no longer,
live with fear.
Because these storms,
have made me stronger.

Don't go trying to stop me
from breaking free
Like a bird in a cage
let me spread my wings and be me

One night you came to me asking why
and you began to cry
I know words hurt
so I lied to your face

Another trip around the sun
and my lies have come full circle
We knew the time had come
the flame that was once there is now gone

Love is a tricky game
when two people come together
One moment you are crying on the floor
the next it has you begging for more
