Waking To Fight Death

Waking up I keep asking myself why? I must stop and breath deep, There is no reason to cry. I will wipe any tear from my eye As I see that I am here in my bed, All of these emotions that I felt Was I really just asleep All the reasons for these thoughts They couldn't all be in my head There is no reason die I - must step back and see I - must watch over everything in sight I - must look forward and see what's to be I - must prepare to fight As the day begins I am running from the night I continue to run throughout the pathways in my mind Not knowing what I wish to find Maybe someplace where I can lay my head and hide After a moment of thought I begin to realize I don't know what I am running from The roads in my head they never end There is nothing to run from and There is no where to run or hide Now I must turn and stand with open eyes Fighting death, there is no reason to die I - must step back and see I - must watch over everything in sight I - must look forward and see what's to be I - must prepare to fight
