Surface Underneath

Underneath the surface Thus, T'is what I've seen As a kid I used to think skies were always blue A child I was, so my favorite color was no doubt no clue White was too but blue seemed cool O how the oceans would adorn the waves And the waves adorn the shore I saw everything at its peak Just like the rise of the waves until I saw the surface underneath Truth you once told till my drowning experience showed me so Inhuman you seem but human you are That is till I saw the surface underneath Blue seemed gloomy Yet I held on with gracious hope For in desperate times I listened to the Blues 3,4,5 that's how I counted on as years passed I always went back to the ocean shore At least to rekindle back my memory My blue skies The sad times The last time I knew you Thus until I saw the surface underneath Truth you once told till my drowning experience showed me so Inhuman you seem but human you are It was then I saw the surface underneath Happy,happy, happy Repeatedly I tell my self I close my eyes wishing on a dying star In hopes you hear me I always come back here you know back to the ocean shore The very last I knew you Or should i say...... The first time I knew you On and On I tried to see at least once Just to be in your shoes Truth you once told till my drowning experience showed me so Inhuman you seem but human you are Now I see the surface underneath Just smile you say I try, I TRY You shouldn't have You saved me I remember who I am What I came here for And why I'm not giving up They say hard work pays I say earn my way through Truth you once told till my drowning experience showed me so Inhuman you seem but human you are Now I see the surface underneath I almost drowned You saved me and now I'm saving you Remember who you are and what you came here for Why you're here and why giving up isn't a choice You give up on me now and my existence will be but an Archive See you now for who you are For I am me Distinguished Fates do not apply You know your limits but you'll never know the climax if you give up Truth you once told But now i'm telling you Be crazy enough to say it Be brave enough for the consequence Blue is portrayed as sad but it has more than one meaning Be More..... Here's to you For I see the surface underneath
