When you’re feeling stuck Straight out of luck Unsure of where you’re going Remind yourself Of where you’ve been And keep that smile showing Because attitude Will change your mood And good vibes Fueled with drive Will get you Where you’re going
Stay strong Dear soul For your path is as long As it is wide Along this journey That requires No more No less Than, trusting while placing One foot In front of the other
Memories are alive They breathe and age With us, like us They’re never the same They shrink and expand With each breath in our lungs They return us to places Where they once had begun They remind us how far We all have come Before whispering, “Your story’s not done.”
Today is the key That unlocks tomorrow It cannot be copied It cannot be borrowed It can only be used Turned And approved By the meticulous Hands of time
It’s in their final moments When we remember their best When we overlook their worst In preparation for The hardest of hurts When they are gone forever And we are left to live One…heartbeat…at…a…time
If we all just tried To make this place A better place to be With hugs to give With ears to hear The cries from mouths Both far and near With eyes wide open And hearts that beat In rhythm With those we meet Along the humble road Of life
It’s in the moments When our senses are deprived We finally figure out Just who we are inside Stripped of flesh Pretense and perception As small as we are large Freed from perfection Simply alive As we were always Meant to be
Just as the snow Was held by the pines He found in her arms A soft place to land
From the shadows of Past Future is born Clothed in hand-me-downs Many had already worn With strong shoulders Broader than the last Future marches on Carrying the weight of Past Until Past’s threadbare rags Grasp and cling no more Future shines bright Out of the shadows Evermore
Remember When you’re merely hanging on And your whole world is spinning Someone else sees your strength And how brightly you shine
