5 Minutes of Clarity and a Single Moment of Serenity

The sun is shining Its a beautiful day Sometimes I have to pray For the sun to shine on me Instead of the shade For darkness loves to cover the heart Seems like i can't get a headstand Pride greed and fear Is were i started to steer Family friends and goals Are thrown in the holes Lost in the distance of who i can't be Memories i can't allow myself to see It seems every time i try to stand There is never a helping hand For the true ones i had to hold Turned their backs when i sold my soul For the destructive path that i now lead I'm the one who sowed that volatile seed For this life of pain and misery I'm a blind man who can't see The sun shining down on me For the shade has to stay Until the day i have the strength to pray A single string of hope That i can never see A fearful past That i had to lead 5 minutes of clarity And a moment of serenity For every second at least one heart seeks In this world of fear and greed To be the person they want to be For no one wants to experience this pain of treachery The bleeding hearts and the lost souls All had an obtainable goal Threw away or taken people don't know But human judgment is always bestowed On the liars beggars cheats and thieves Understand, you can not with out experiencing the deed The power of choice is what we've been given Hope, Enlightenment, Love And Peace stay hidden For the key i hold unlocks this mystery This mystery of H.E.L.P. And then the shade of darkness shall go away The sun shall now forever stay Enclosed in this box threw the distance of time and space I shall forever be hidden from the pain of my insecurities 5 minutes of clarity And a single moment of serenity Is what i shall have, Finally
