The Only Way Out

You want to run You want to hide To wish the world away. Take all the hurt Take all the pain I pray you take it all away You pray for calm You pray for peace You pray for silence for a change The more you fight and the more you resist The quicker you learn that you cannot start at the beginning and jump to the end Every beginning has a middle and every end has a beginning so every middle must be conquered To get to the end Stop running Srop hiding Stop wishing the world away Calm will come Peace will come and when Silence finally comes you realize That escaping was never an option That you needed to work it through That there was never an "easy out" and that the only way out was through
