Bound From Change But Still I Ponder:

Limber trees,
Ashen sky's
People walk carlessly by.

I awake to this sombersome world
everyday awaiting for a magnificent change.
Some one help me so i can be more than this.
 
Scared am I?
 Oh Yes!

But still I look for rays of sunshine in a darkening sky,
You bind me but I look to you for anwsers because you're all I know.
I'm left here counting seconds on a frozen clock.

Thinking of running out on everything.
But your fingers wrap in a snug embrace around my heart.
Your chains bound me here.. They have from the very start.

I cannot make change,
I can only watch what others make.
and think about my timber fate. 

As weak as the billowing trees
You cannot see my hope for it is hidden like cloud covered sun rays.
But without emerging still i am with hope. 

Just like this desolate world.
I feel empty
but somewhere I know out of it all... I still have a chance.
