Pass him on the streets
And you wouldn't see
He's been with addiction
Since the age of six

Pass her in the halls
And you wouldn't see
The bruises on her heart
Cause everyone leaves

Behind closed doors
Our stories reside
Each one is told
Each one we hide

We tell ourselves
It won't be long
Someone will come
And correct all the wrong

But what if time runs out
They take the "Easy" route
Something could have been done
You could have stopped it before it all begun
...

Life remains in the palms of eternity
As children grow and become what was instilled in them
The rising generation only but a glimpse of the next
Turning into dreams of the past and needs for the future
The yearning desire to be what they want it overturned
And the judges of life are those who just passed the test
What they don't see is we are different
We have learned from their mistakes and are now correcting history
We will live our lives to the extent of how we want
No on will bring us down as we pursue a generation that's worth living
Not...

Hope keeping me up all night
The endless racing thoughts
Wondering if it will happen
Or expecting disappointment once again
Waking up only to find my heart still broken
Longing for a perfect life again
Yet love caught me red handed
Leaving me holding my bleeding heart
The yearning desire to find a pain reliever
Knowing deep within my soul, my life is over
I slowly start to realize
This is what he wanted
So I creep out of the depths of endless woe
Reaching a hand towards air
Slowly step up, look in the mirror and
Smile

I had a dream of a world so perfect and clear
Woke up and realized no one really even cares
I once had a mamma, who left my life at seven
Papa said she found wings and took off to heaven
The nights slowly passed, without any dinner
Who would have known my papa was a sinner?

Later on in my life, ten years down the road
I was flipping through papers and found a little not
It read:

Baby don't cry, baby don't fear
I may have wings but your mammas still here
Please don't stop reading this, I need your help
Your papas still out there, you...
