Something To Believe In

When I was little I use to try so hard To believe in magic and dreams All existed in this world That there was a good to be seen by all Ever slowly though, you grow up Every person grows different Every view becomes expanded The beautiful girl who sat next to you, Became the wife who never left your side The parents you wished would leave you alone, You wish more than ever to be taken care of by them You were raised to be a certain way, Your children learn what you learned Your world will become flipped upside-down, As everything turns sweet as honey There is always a lemon to be had But if you handle it right The juice still feels good dripping off your chin You may lose a loved one You may die first As long as you lived or lived in them It was all worth it wasn’t it? Don’t ever let your memories fade And don’t ever lose imagination Believe in everything you want Magic is as real as you let it be Some people in this world have been taught To bring you down And if you let them you can fall apart As long as you keep all your pieces Then you have not truly lost You learn and experience life People are not all good With every dream comes nightmare And all magic is not light Hearts may break and wars may start The endings are all yours to write So please believe in what I say I will believe in you That someone will hear me And be kind to one another, Let love into your world Break down these walls built from fear Tear through the hate and bigotry You can change everything You just need to start
