I Can Fly

The price…the cost of my sins is too much to pay up in one day I-I have an excuse – My heart has been thumping with dismay I was a new kid, making up several excuses almost everyday I was struggling in school several times – it’s the bothering truth, reducing me to tears of dread I was alone and had no one to rely on – that abominable lie in my head! I feel rather…dead I am ignored, but I’ve accepted it as normal Reality can get so cruel – but, I must stand tall Stand tall, David, you must stand tall and give it your all I am…so afraid of the light Hey! Lord, be my worthy sword! You’re even there to hear me out and you make me yearn for accord! Be with me…you and I need to toughen up Abide by my side, angel! I feel so discouraged! My cup Is half full instead of half empty I am..so confused by the commotion of the ocean, spraying misery Upon my mindset…now, I’m feeling quite upset Because I have to pay up so much different kinds of debt I say HELLO to Him He’s there with me while I flee He answered me when I knocked on His front door I’m not grief-stricken or lost in a multitude anymore! Today, I’m happy to live another day I am set free – I-I can fly . . . ? Not weighed down by being in my own skin... But, this burn is scorching me aflame from deep within Deep down inside, I hear the echoes of empathy
