Enjoying the scenes
Can I control my destiny
Can I heal the rest of me
Will I find peace someday
Grow wings and fly away
I’ll let dark turn to light
Grow bright despite the fight
Will my cages that hold my pain
Let freedom open what they contain
Will the clouds come down and surround me
Will I end the tragedy I dream
Is life all it seems
Will I live beyond my means
Or will I lay in comfort at the seams
Will I let the wind blow off my shoulders
Or will I begin to grow colder
A frozen heart is always bitter
When she’s hurt the lip will quiver
But the tears she’ll wipe away
Hold in all she needs to say
For fear of life taking her under
Lightning strikes then comes the thunder
Soon she soaked and falling down
Aimlessly crawling around
On the cold hardened ground
She will look up to the stars
Refuse to live within these bars
So she fights and carries on
Searching for where her heart has gone
Searching for her lost dreams
Finding comfort in the scenes
