Hide
Following my heart
Never to part
Searching for me
I just had to see
How far I could go
how little I did know
Reaching beyond my star
Never thought it would be so far
When as a little boy
Sat aside any toy
Mother said I'd be a priest one day
What a thing to say
I went the wrong way
Sampled what the earth had to offer me
I wanted to see
Fell
Crawled back in my well
Lost my way
Nowhere to stay
For my head to lay
Took to crime
Set aside the rhyme
Fought
But the lessons taught
Pain
fell like rain
Nothing left to gain
Turned
From getting burned
Hid from life
All It's strife
World in a haze
Drug filled daze
Afraid to come outside
And I would hide
Lost in the nevermore
Sleeping on some floor
Waking up high
Slowly telling myself goodbye
Forgot I could cry
Life won
I was done
Put a rope around my neck, stepped upon a stool
Such a fool
Again just wanted to die
But found I could cry
Struggling to survive
But yet alive
Crawled out of my hole just to fall back
Monkey on the attack
Strength I never knew
Quietly it grew
The pain I learn I could ride
No more wanted to hide
Ever so slowly
I stopped feeling so lowly
The light found me
Helped me to see
I can now stand
Understand
So clear
Life is dear
Death is always near
In time
I got back my rhyme
The collar I now wear
Thought life wasn't fair
But I wasn't fair to life
Created my own strife
Made it through the rain
The pain
Life is not meant to be the stain
