Greatness Never Seen

Greatness is never offered to just anyone

Only few are given the chance to see the sun

On the day I pass away don't blame me I couldn't stay

Don't fret don't sob don't blink an eye


But if you do I won't ask you why

You never gave a chance to see the pain inside feasts away inside me

Everyday I wish to see their face yet close my eyes and their every place


Every time I swear I see them true hoping dearly they may see me too

More and more each day I cry falsely hoping the pain may die

People believe all they wish to hear to make their own lives feel better through the year

The time is close I feel its near the time to end what I can't see here

If greatness truly is real then tell me why can't I find the ability to heal

Never fret no do not doubt and never believe all what you hear about

Even if you do choose to tell me I'm great I know it's false as I demand my fate

Soon so soon I will see them again bit not in this world where I loved till the end

So to the world in which I came close my eyes and hang see their greatness will remain
