What Lays Ahead

Lights out, no belief in the world but the people need someone to believe in!
Everybody's a hero in this world, even those who seem like true villains.
We all look up to someone no matter how old or how tall they are. It's our own soul that
leads us to be what we wanna be.
A Hero or a Villain only you decide what team you're going to play for.

Drugs tore my family apart but it gets worse.
My grandma's getting old, my sister lost custody over her kids, my grades are slippin' but
it's not because I'm a fraud hiding behind this confusing mist. Let's just call that
reason number two.
Do you wanna continue on this road? Or do you wanna see something different for a change?

You fell in love in sixth grade with this Peruvian eighth grader but you knew it wasn't
meant to be.
You kept on fighting, you kept on walking not knowing what's up ahead.
You followed His voice and you're still following it today.
But ask yourself one more time...am I supposed to know what lays ahead?

John, I don't assume to know the answer, but from all I've seen during the past years of living, I would say, no. If we did know what lays ahead we would all probably go mad! I think so because until we get there, whatever we're going through TODAY, is or should be preparing us for WHAT LAYS AHEAD. Like me, I'm still stuck in the learning process but I know I'm not in charge, so I leave it to Him! Great, interesting write! Peace, Audrey
