You hold me close
I feel you do
your heart
beats
pure and true
Together
we can conquer
the universe
I know we can
I know
we will
For our hearts
beat
pure and true.

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe
Another day
Maybe it’ll feel like forever
In the way you feel
Today.
But
Your end will come
In a moment
Or
It may have come
Yesterday.
Your purpose, your mission
Is
To live each moment
Each day
With joy and happiness.
So
When you close your eyes
For forever
You’ll smile
And
You’ll say
“That was fun
That was, a good day!”

No more will I be
the one
who saves you
always full of courtesy
No more will I be
the one
who laughs
dances to a silly song
no more
No more will I be
the one
who helps you up
cradles a ailing, sickly little pup
no
no more
No more
will I be that one
For you see
you have come to me
you have made
me see
I don’t need to do
all that
Cause it’s you
now
doing all this
for me.

My heart bleeds
my eyes
do cry
everything in between
is
start to live
end with
die.
No words will hold you up
no words
take you down
only your mind
can
conquer
what keeps you
constrained
what keeps you bound.
Freedom is yours
freedom
in
life
start to live
is
my advice.

There have been
regrets
in
my life
things
I’d rather
not
dwell on
Live twice
To find
joy
in those times
is
hard to accept
hard
to find
This is why
I acknowledge
they
happened
maybe cry
then
let them go
But did they
help me change
help me
grow?
You know
I just don’t
know.

Already heard
the answer
Made my decision
right or wrong
Will believe
in
that answer
Made clear
and
so profound.
