Larger Than I

Larger Than I Sunday morning arrives once again I seek the meaning in what you intend The sun rises and marks a brand new start The players are different yet it’s still the same part. I go outside to view all I can see I can’t seem to find all I can be I climb up a hill to view what’s on the other side There are too many rules that I must abide. I look to the sky to find a way out I stand in a shadow cast by my doubt It doesn’t much matter as I shake the tree A few leaves fall yet I see what will be. I stand on the hill the fools there still Perhaps it may change yet I doubt that it will He speaks out loudly but no one hears a word His happiness was one thing he thought he could afford. The sun beats down as the day begins to linger I try to hold on yet it slips through my fingers I try to grab on to save the pieces here But they join together with all of my fears. Another day has passed and I wonder why I really just got up and decided to try I spread my wings expecting to fly Then I see this world that is larger than I.
