'my Silver Lining'
Can you see the light?
Look further -
some call it the light at the end of the tunnel
Can you see the cloud?
They say there is a silver lining
no
I never get too close to experience it
things always fall apart before
I reach the light
or
before I see the silver lining
maybe my eyes were never meant to see it -
Just like the magic carpet
just disappeared from under me
Did you see me fall?
Flat on my face -
No don't worry
I’ll get up again...
I am a fighter you see
the battle scars lie deep within -
today I cried with no tears
tomorrow I might laugh with tears
the contrast and outside influences keep
me on an even keel
so with or without that silver lining
the clouds will always be there
that tunnel does not reflect light...
It is just a reminder
that sunshine or rain
while I can still feel emotion
even if it is just heartache and pain
I am still alive...
