Give
Day by day
As I make my way
Far I have come
Wondering what it is I am running from
Or running to
Wondering through life with no clue
True
Still becoming me
Through all I see
Each day that goes by
No matter how hard I try
Cannot please them all
And still stand tall
So I be me
Stay free
To myself I stay true
In all I do
Life is not forever
The past I must sever
Be not be afraid
Who cares if I make the grade
What you see
Is not really me
So much more
But who keeps score
So much of me I give
No where is where I live
My thoughts so far away
Where will I be today
The sky is turning gray
Another day passes by
A tear falls from the sky
Afraid to live
My hearts not mine to give
Afraid to move
Stuck in that grove
Hope flows strong
But a night can be so long
Dreams that have gone so wrong
But still walking forwards
Towards
Tomorrow
A place devoid of sorrow write my heart for all to see
Keeps me free
Who am I
I seek but to fly
So hard I try
One step at a time
Using words that rhyme
I build my tomorrow with each day that passes by
Long as I am always willing to try
I will get by
