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
