You Cry

you cry, you smile, you open your arms out wide yet all they do is continue to cast you aside don't let them win and take your joy away brighten up, for tomorrows another day you cry, you smile, you open your arms out wide on your dreams,reality and hope you flawlessly glide don't let them die, for you can achieve anything just take your desires to the air on eagles wings in the distance of reality and in the distance of time upon that tree of dreams I will continually climb to reach that branch where my hope clings on down to the root of despair, my misery has not gone you cry, you smile, you open your arms out wide can my broken heart and trust in you confide like the bleak midwinter, and the newness of spring like a new born lamb, my desires oh what joy it brings you cry, you smile, you open your arms out wide like the footprints of big foot, my aspirations glide in this cruel world your heart stands out beating nothing but pure love, without a shadow of a doubt in a never ending circle the mould is yet to break like an expectant mother in labour-how much more pain to take over in the yonder the sun begins to rise over in the distance my joy begins to prise you cry, you smile, you open your arms out wide the hatred I have for you, on a battlefield has died like a true soldier I fought a good fight like the kite runner, I chased after its flight you cry, you smile, you open your arms out wide I foolishly believed all the mutterings you lied I shall arise out of the darkness of night my strength will bring me into a newness of light its over now, I've resigned to the fact only I kept my side of our bargaining pact I loved, I lost, I lived and I saw all my hopes floating down life's closed door
