When All You Can Do Is Get By

Thrown in the midst of a raging storm Waiting in line for hope to be reborn Life was once a world of endless possibilities Then was crushed with the weight of hopeless realities It’s the moment I think everything’s going alright And then I wake up and find I’m losing this fight It’s the wrench in my plans that changes my life It’s the question about whether I can pull through this strife My dreams are crashing all around me Lost with my potential of what I could be Emptied of the strength to do my best Vanished in the trend of survival of the fittest I can hear the call to rise to the challenge Echoing in my soul that’s shaken and damaged I must conquer this battle and meet the test Search and find where my identity lies among the rest I need to take a blind leap and hope to fly When all I can do is just get by
