Cold

Left hand doesn't see what the right ones doing
Gotta be careful so they won't end up suing 
Keeping one foot moving  at all times
Sitting here busting these rhymes
No guitar to play 
Pawned it the other day
Always been my way
To keep the faith growing
Watching all the seeds, I've been a sowing
All the times I've been a knowing 
What goes up must come down. 
In life you can easily drown
Have myself to hold on to
Quince my thirst on the morning dew
Don't mind me I'm just passing through
Won't be here that long
But I'll leave you with a song
To dry any tear
To step with you through any fear
Time is on our side
We use it to guide
Not hide
You decide
To reach for tomorrow with open arms
Hate  harms
Hearts that beat pure
Hard to find but I'm still sure
Out there somewhere I can't yet see
Happiness must surely be free
So I step pass the blue
Cause somewhere , love beats true
So on and on I go
One-day I'll have something to show
For the times done gone
But kept the beat  moving on 
Maybe one day I shall write 
The words that sound right
Keeps me warm on a cold night
Till then
That someday, I don't know when
So I Keep on marching to my own beat
Till the day I get that special treat
A new life awaits
I'm tempting the fates
Writing my own
Keeping in mind all I've been shown
Reaching up trying to gather the love I've found
To the love one must be bound
