Tell Me Something

We open our eyes,
With excitement we smile,
Look on in wonder,
But only for a while.

We fight our best fight,
But soon lose our way.
What’s right, what’s wrong,
And who is to say?

One step, then another,
Caught in the chase,
From crawling to falling,
We’re lost to the race.

Tell me we’ll make it,
That we’ll be okay.
Tell me there’s time,
That we can still change.
I’ll be glad to hear,
Those words that you say,
And I’ll try to believe them,
As I go on my way.

We never know,
Just how we feel.
In desperate confusion,
Making it real.

You may think deeply,
Feel hurt and fear,
But I don’t know you,
We’re all strangers here.

So keep speaking loudly,
Hear the echos ring out,
The inconvenient truth,
But who listens anyhow?

Tell me we’ll make it,
That we’ll be okay.
Tell me there’s time,
That we can still change.
I’ll be glad to hear,
Those words that you say,
And I’ll try to believe them,
As I go on my way.

Take a look in the mirror,
Dive in the well,
Touch your reflection,
Feel the waters swell.

Look up and remember,
Your troublesome past,
But no one can touch you,
You’re safe where you are.

Clouds overcome you,
Rain starts to fall,
The waters are rising,
And you don’t mind at all.

Tell me we’ll make it,
That we’ll be okay.
Tell me there’s time,
That we can still change.
I’ll be glad to hear,
Those words that you say,
And I’ll try to believe them,
As I go on my way.

The briefest of moments,
Is all that we have,
Robbed of our innocence,
The good and the bad.

Lost are the days,
Gone are the nights,
Bury your treasures,
Leave them all behind.

Time now to sleep,
Close your weary eyes,
Find final peace,
Say your goodbyes.

Tell me we’ll make it,
That we’ll be okay.
Tell me there’s time,
That we can still change.
I’ll be glad to hear,
Those words that you say,
And I’ll try to believe them,
As I go on my way.
