Morning Sunrise
"Morning Sunrise"
She was only sixteen dreaming of a better tomorrow
Crushed by those around her like a can by a foot
Staring into the night sky she wonders where this road takes her now
Is she to sit as the cars pass her by or shall she walk towards the setting sun?
Afraid and alone with no one to talk to she fears her life will be so empty
She feels as if she is standing alone in a flooded river
She believes her life is nothing but the thorns left alone after the rose has died
Why she screams out, must no one see her when she's standing right in front of them?
What she doesn't realize is there is always someone standing by her side if even unseen
Holding her up when she falls down and wiping those endless tears away
Carrying her when she’s to weak to walk, and keeping her warm when she’s to cold
Can she see what's ahead of her? Will she ever notice the love she can see with eyes open wide?
Never feeling loved at all she refuses to feel emotions
Unable to believe in tomorrow when today is just a dying dream
Forgetting she's not the only one unable to believe in anything good
She just refuses to see the morning sun rise whose hands reach out for her all
