Reach
Reach, the heavens blue sky fall beneath
thou journey unforeseen story
The soul thriving everyday survivor breathe
we pertain the endurance to live
Soul of mankind reality I exist only
beaten down to one knee my kneel
But I will not lay down my arms
my reach within my grasp
My last breathe be my success
though I am still less to them
I am me myself my portrait paints
not the pain I suffer my eyes
But a spirit arose from the grave
I reach deep inside darkness
My belief I can be anything I desire
other than what they make me
I am different in myself my walk
be of one in itself am I saved
Deaths burning desire I do not fear
it comes not quickly in haste
But the experience to learn my ability
that I reach for stars above
There, I belong as moon lights the dark
my reach far more you not know
The one that died inside just to be me
a darkness covered beneath soul
