Manifest Destiny (Collab with Fia Naturie)

So long I have waited for your return
I have much to teach you, are you willing to learn?
I can show you how to remove the decay
Assemble the pieces that are in disarray
 
Wait... wait.... wait, just a bit
Need a minute to come to terms with this shit
Not easy to give up what used to be home
This darkness inside is all that I have known
 
Its all you have known, but theres so much more
Take hold of my hand and Ill pull you ashore
I know that you're cautious and lacking in trust
I will walk alongside you while you adjust
 
I am just supposed to let this happen, let this be?
Take your hand? Do you know me?
Do you know who I am, and what I have done?
You with your light, make me want to run.
 
I know who you are, I have always been near
The darkness is not the reason you're here
I Held back the trigger while you stared down a gun
You've been stuck in one place no matter how much you run
 
You’re the reason I’m still on this earth?
I don’t know if I should yell, scream, or kiss the dirt
I had pain, I had grief and I had sorrow
You are telling me no matter what you will be here for me, tomorrow
 
You have to know darkness to appreciate light
The pain and suffering prepared you for the fight
Its made you unbreakable, look back and you'll see
The darkness was never your shield, it was me
 
I am gonna put my faith in you, this one-time
The last time I put faith in anything was in mankind
I am lifting my hand, taking yours with a quickness
I’m going to believe what you said I'm stronger than the darkness
 
Then let us now begin to claim what is yours
To manifest the destiny of so many wars
As we walk hand in hand, unhindered, unchained
You will reap the reward that has long been ordained
