So If This Is How It Has To Be...
So if this is how it has to be
if my road is already paved in stone
if when it all ends I will fall into nothing less
and my name will go unknown
So if this is how it has to be
when I am not the only dreading the light
when all the drama, all the struggle of life
ceases to exist during the night
So if this is how it has to be
a long difficult road to just find you must endure
a painful ending that you cannot escape
a disease we all seek to someday cure
So if this is how it has to be
the willingness and passion must be strong
to give up and loose many along the way
deep down inside you know your time isn’t long
So if this is how it has to be
I will not go down without a fight
if ever my flame burns out before my time
there will hopefully be someone there to relight
