Faith

Ever wonder why a willow would want to weep While dreams haunt you as you sleep Somedays blur by You try , But in doing what is right, hold to your heart and fight , is at the same time doing what is wrong Life in no song Dreams make you weep The pain is yours to keep Empathy makes you want to stay away At the same time, I guard what I say If I attack The pain I get back It is all so hazy To a mind stuck in crazy Maybe it is just ,that I am lazy Afraid to try Must I just always question the why Why must I care To be fair The world turned its back on me That's what I see It made me cry I did not ask why. Still I try Tell a story to all the unhearing ears So lost in their own fears Showing a picture to unseeing eyes Blinded by all the lies It is the unfelt tie that does bind It is just a closed empty mind Afraid to leave the past behind You seek For a little peek Trying to see what is yet to be When all is placed out in the open But you only sit there without even hoping , For a tomorrow With less sorrow Lost to today Lost is the way A world passes by So Afraid to try It fails to see What the world could truly be Time leaves us behind Each Lost in their own mind Looking for what is wrong what is right They lost sight of the light For only this will lead you to your path that's true It will show in all you do Your actions should point the way It will be in all you say But you will never arrive Without the faith that this is meant to be Just open your eyes so that you may see
