Tug of War
When dreams all come crashing down,
I’ll just take the long way 'round,
When the light of hope turns to dark,
I’m more determined to hit my mark.
When let down and people sway,
I’ll just choose to stay away,
When disappointment hits again,
I just push on through the pain.
When hopes and dreams all fall through,
I’ll just start something new,
When feeling low, no hope in sight,
I’ll light a candle for a little light.
When the heart cracks one more time,
I’ll just write another rhyme,
When nighttime falls and I hear more lies,
I’ll wait till dawn and watch the sun rise.
When I think I can take no more,
I remind myself there’s lots to explore,
When the day becomes too much,
I’ll close my eyes and dream as such.
It’s a tug of war between shadows and light,
Feeling hopeless but I’m ready to fight,
Through the struggles and the pain,
I’ll rise up stronger, again and again.
When my soul begins to die,
This is when I know I’ll fly,
When it’s all said and done,
I will know I tried, and I won.
