One Soul - 4th Place

You were born from the shadow of broken dreams Tempered by the sound of coarse screams You were raised climbing your own mountains Crawling under the slip of flowing fountains You were taught to hunt your food before you eat The only thing you had was your heartbeat You were forced to run before you walk And carry up the weight of your talk You are one soul that does not stop Even if your feet were broken you'd try to hop You are one soul that does not surrender You were born to race with the storm and thunder You trained your mind to dive in your deepest pain You learned to pass your sorrow without stain Even if your heart was broken, you learned to keep it as a token The heart of your soul can't just be shaken You are one soul that learned to breath on noxious air You are one soul that learned to climb the highest stair You are one soul that ran your race before you walked You are one soul that learned to scream before you talked Inspired by the song "One Last Soul" 4th place
