I feel the pain of wich you speak
this life we live
i've reached the peak
the highest mountain
the longest road
along the way
the heavy load,
the twist the turn
one more detour
can we handle anymore?
the heart speaks louder
then any word
so you wonder, are you heard?
i will tell u that u are!
yes, i too still bear the scars,
& i still try to see the stars
for all it's worth
i've come this far...
lifes never lived without pain
lessons learned, we're all the same
& yes i say the hurt remains
but dont give it up
there is no gain
so look into the future now
leave the past to history
dont let it haunt your soul & mind
for tomorrow you'll be free...
