Daylight

No daylight in the womb, No light in the tomb, And sometimes it seems The end comes not too soon For whatever reason, We come into this world, It's sometimes a challenge Where logic is curled Into some self-serving nonsense too hard to understand, And where everyone's motives Seems underhand And time becomes a trap We're desperate to escape, And the one you do love, Has someone else kissing her nape, And most of the people you love, Are dead and long gone, And you struggle each day, For a reason to go on And the harder you try, The harder it gets, And it seems to you Everyone just forgets... When you strode on the stage In fancier clothes, And things you accomplished, Nobody any longer now knows At times like this You have but one friend, Who'll suffer your fate, No matter the end That's your faith in youself, And damn all the rest, They've tried to drown you, But you've passed every test And what it boils down to, And what it all means, Regardless of fortune, And whatever it seems To be your destiny in this life, Your ultimate ally Is yourself For you alone know What you meant it to be, And more often than not, No one else can see If you have done your best, With whatever you have, And harmed no one maliciously, This thought may you salve, You have succeeded far beyond The greatest of dreams, For you came into this world And knew what it means To do what you saw as what is right, And finally saw that golden sunlight.
