Our Happy Ending
If regrets are mistakes then what is gained
What is learned in these times of pain
Are we doomed to carry on the same open road
Without a destination a place to call home
I've been up and down this road of strange unfilmiar ways
Kept in the dark with no headlights
No direction in mind
I've keep these feelings of lost
Locked away caged in the past
I struggle to breath
I am challenged by the reality of so many blessings
Still searching for more
Still wanting all i can't take with me when i leave this place
So many smiles missed
So many chances to spend time with my boy
So consumed by the idea of a life of riches
Money did not buy what i have in those eyes of my children
Did'nt cost me a dime to dream
To believe i could have kids and be a parent myself
So many obstacles stood in the way
Still block my progress i feel today
I can't imagine why
I've been giving chances to be that father
So tangled up in the nets of debt
Can't even see how rich i am
Many dream of what i have
Many die trying to get it
Almost lost her
The one who showed me everything is possible
If you believe If you can stare past all the worry and pain
This life could be the dream
The dream relized
Our happy ending...
