Kimberly Ruiz Poet Lyric

When All You Can Do Is Get By

Thrown in the midst of a raging storm
Waiting in line for hope to be reborn
Life was once a world of endless possibilities
Then was crushed with the weight of hopeless realities
It’s the moment I think everything’s going alright
And then I wake up and find I’m losing this fight
It’s the wrench in my plans that changes my life
It’s the question about whether I can pull through this strife
My dreams are crashing all around me
Lost with my potential of what I could be
Emptied of the strength to do my best
Vanished in the trend of survival of the fittest
I can hear the call to rise to the challenge
Echoing in my soul that’s shaken and damaged
I must conquer this battle and meet the test
Search and find where my identity lies among the rest
I need to take a blind leap and hope to fly
When all I can do is just get by
