Bitten Lips Don'T Stand Alone
Common among us may not be everything
With some love, some hate, some passion, some disdain.
But when our hearts ignite inside
To a happy memory, a simple smile,
Or when we gently tap our feet to the beats of a rhythm-
We feel that one united fire.
So I’ll never back down,
There’s always a dollar, a smile, a love that I can share
With the broken hearted,
Whose smiles are frowns for in fear they’ve been matted.
And bitten lips stand, alone
Grappling with the railings of hope,
In the midst of a crowd, in the midst of the storm
They’re the legend, what we define beyond the norm.
We all are, within ourselves, without our strengths
Flaws and all, we fall, stumble to the ground.
Hold your breath for a second, breathe,
We won’t fail this time around
Even if that spark won’t ignite,
Keep on bashing hope and love together,
Passion will erupt at the center.
To be with, to know, not to live our dreams
But to make someone else’s happen,
We are what we chose to be.
Hope, we can hope in what our creator’s started
Still we stand, one, not many, a few
Grasping to a dream we all share, knowing one day it’ll come true.
