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
