The Cold Awaits
The Cold Awaits
A pale image left fading in my thoughts of you
are all I have remaining to get me through
to face the fear of what I am forced to do
I delivered myself here by fate it’s true
an attempt to escape myself and not allowing negativity to break through
life’s hard decisions are always faced alone
Each breath I take leaves my heart in doubt
of the path I walk and the ones I care about
leave no one behind and nothing incomplete
be true to yourself and protect loved ones from defeat
Hold true to your integrity, show pride, love and stability
be a leader and embrace the shortcomings of others as a reality
give more of yourself than others expect to see
this is the way to success and the way it should be
Are the ones around you there to dig your grave or celebrate the life you’ve made
the truth is the one thing you should never trade for an easy road out of what lies have betrayed
love is the power of honesty and served best when you care too much
open your heart to the chance to be hurt and allow another to offer their touch
to care for another more than you care for your own heart
is what the spirit of honesty and true love are all about
The lyrics and rhymes all the words are all well known and so old
they are the words we all know so well truth be told
a heart filled with happiness and love will hold
your soul in the end and protect you from the cold
