Believing in Hope

I’m swimming in tears,

I’m drowning in time,

How can I find a way

to fight these fears of mine?

I don’t want to give up,

but how can I breathe?

I open my mouth,

but the words won’t come out.

No one can help me.

One foot in heaven

One foot in hell

There’s no path for me.

I can’t live on without some clarity.

Will I be missed?

I don’t want to leave.

What about the people who love me?

I want to grow up,

but there’s nothing for me.

One step closer to becoming a ghost

I’ve nearly lost all hope.

The road is clouded with smoke.

What is in front of me?

My path to destiny or

a train coming right for me

ready to whisk me away from reality.

My family, I’d leave them in tears.

We love you, We’re right here.

I don't want to stay,

when the years are unclear.

How can I find my way

in this cloud of tears?

Is somebody out there,

to show me the way?

I’m not strong enough

to clear the path

of these road blocks I cannot pass.

You will be missed,

you just can’t leave.

We have to grow up,

there’s so much for you and me.

Put down the blade.

Pick up the phone.

Call the people you love,

tell them you’re coming home.

Don't believe in ghosts,

instead believe in hope.
