The situation is dire
Triumph, what you desire
As the tension grows higher
Do you prove you're a fighter?
From where is your strength inspired?
Is it from what you desire?
The desire to soar higher?
What fuels your fire?
Find your inner fire
Find your burning desire
To push through the tension higher
Find that which inspires
Push through until break of day
Pushing through is the only way
Tomorrow comes and what do you say?
Push through another day.
Fight on until you find a ray
One of hope that shines through the day
Push through the melancholy
And seize the day!
Today is yours, I say!
So go make it a beautiful day!
Though the skies may
I look upon the hot coals before me
Across them I must walk
They spread out far beyond the horizon
Where do they lead? I've no clue
I took the first step
I cried out as the hot coals burned my feet
There's a loud hiss as the angry coals crackled and sizzled
Continuing on seemed impossible
How much longer must I endure?
How long until the pain ends?
How long until the relief of cold water?
How much more of these coals must I endure?
In time the coals didn't really affect me
I just walked across them easily and unwillingly
I just want to stop walking
But I can't.
To this day
I walk the hot coal path
But now it is bearable
Because I am not a
Skies black and void of blue
Times sad and void of joy
Times like these are fear's clue
To turn you into its toy
Imagination reigns
Sorrow takes control
I am dwindlingly sane
As I spin out of control
Then the advent of joy arrives
As she returns to me
I return to the joy to which I strive
Hers is the face I needed to see
The sorrow in my heart
What it was that plagued me so
I just missed her from the start
So I was my own foe
I was sad and bitter from the start
Sorrow played me like a toy
Then I mastered my own heart
With the advent of joy
Learning to breathe
Longing to see
All that I need
Right here before me
But all that I see
Is my misery
But that touch of glee
Will set me free
Taking a breath
My mind is set
Taking a step
I journey till sunset
I'm willing to bet
My final Step
On my life's trip
Will give what I need to get
I've found one who cares
She is aware
Often I'm scared
Of the pain we must bear
But with her I share
All of my cares
To the horiz'n I stare
And she gives the dare
The dare to go on
Until my journey is done
No matter what's wrong
The show must go on!
Yes the journey is long
Yes it's painful a ton
But whether stormy or not
The journey goes on
