The Adventure Called Life

How far we seem to climb Just to fall down the other side But we will climb the next mountain Trying to find where we belong How deep we dive down Before we realise we can't breathe But we will continue to dive Trying to reach the treasure we crave How high we fly up Knowing gravity gravity will drag us back down But we will stretch our wings again and again Trying to reach the stars How many dreams we have That daily life slowly tramples to death But we will always dream again Trying to reach the impossible How many times we strive to do our best And beat ourselves up for failing But we will always try again Trying to become who we want to be Why do we keep trying Why do we keep on hoping? Because there IS a place we belong There IS a treasure to be found The stars ARE there for us You DO become a better you simply by trying But it will never be yours if you give up trying Because it's only in striving for it That you find the truth It's through seeking that you learn what you really long for Without the truth you can never reach it Because you will never understand why You will never know what it is you long for You will never find the truth So rise up Dry your eyes Dust off your knees Put on a bandage if needed Shake your fist at the heavens And say "I'm not giving up, so what's next"
