Nothings They Wish For Me

Nothings they wish for me, No dreams, no hopes, no destiny, Just a life that's safe and sound, In a world where nothing's ever found. I see it in their eyes, their face, A fear that holds me in its embrace, That I might strive, or reach too high, That I might fail, or even die. They want what's easy, what's secure, A life that's steady, stable, and pure, Not the kind that's filled with risk, That requires courage, strength, and risk. But oh, how I wish to soar, To find the things I'm searching for, To chase my dreams with all my might, To live a life that's full of light. So I'll keep striving, hoping, praying, That someday I'll find my way, That I'll discover what I seek, And my soul will finally feel complete.
