Suddenly
My eyes...glisten
My ears...listen
Don't worry so much
Don't hurry to feel success's touch
I've been wearing the mask of shame
I've been bearing these fears in my hands
I'm telling you that I am not to blame
My wandering mind is a million lovely lands
Then suddenly...
The wilderness of my fears
Reduced me to many tears
You're being unreasonable
Woe is you? That's a cry baby's label!
Feeling like a frenzied flamingo on a leash
Suddenly, I feel more alive and you're out of my reach
Nothing lasts forever, so don't take life for granite
Suddenly, I feel like I'm not the only victim in this pit...
Pit of pain and lack of prosperity
Mesmerized by the sunlight of sincerity
I'm starving for wisdom from on high
There's a feeling of mistrust towards you I can't deny
Suddenly, I feel...out of place
And I saw you without a trace
I am willing to embrace God's grace
Can't you see the sweat on my face?
My dreams...are broken again
At the seams...in this dangerous den
I long for brighter days and nights
I can't put up with the constant flights and fights
