Spotlight

A World Of Difference
In The Eyes Of Another
A Victim Of Their Surroundings
Living The Words Of A Martyr
All Of The Hopes And Dreams
Left To Hang In The Balance
Watching Through The Glass
Is This Our First And Final Chance?

Will We Ever Be The Same
Standing In The Lone Spotlight?
Bleeding Emotion From Within
Giving Ourselves For What's Right
To Have The Will To Be
In A Less Than Convincing Environment
Where All Are Meant To Dream
And Live Without Resentment

Without Rhyme Or Reason
To Become The Real You
Within The Forgotten Memory
To Be The One Within A Few
Words Will Always Be Heard
But Will They Be Written?
The Spotlight Will Fade
But Will You Be Forgotten?
