We all have those days where we just don't wanna wake up
Where even the air in the room holds you down
And there are days where you
Beg the universe for any hint of a sign
Just something to let you know that you're
Even remotely close to the right path
The kind of days where you doubt who you are, and
Where you are, or where you're even going
You anxiously retrace all your steps wondering
Where the hell you went wrong
And where was that place all those lines became blurred and
The road forked like a serpent's tongue convincing you
That you didn't even know yourself, from Adam?
Was it there that you split off on to the wrong course?
Had you taken the other road
You'd likely be in much better shape, right?
Or better yet, maybe the world wouldn't have fallen apart like it has
Maybe all the right pieces would have been in all the right places
And maybe you'd have found yourself instead of losing your hope
Like an old love note you kept locked inside a
Dust-covered box under the floorboards
Yeah, that sounds pretty good right about now
We could all use a little faith in ourselves
We deserve that, don't we? Don't we?
See, don't we deserve that?
Don't we deserve to open our eyes
And rejoice in the mere fact that we're alive?
And that we woke up here?
Or that we can marvel in our existence
Isn't that good enough?
Or is that too much to ask for?
Because I'm starting to get confused by this all
This whole rat race
You know where we're chasing other people's dreams
And comparing the wonder of what makes us, us
Can you believe that?
Let me tell you, I've stared into the dark and
I've watched its lonely eyes look right back at me
And I won't lie to you, they
Pierce the soul no less than a sharp knife on a fresh piece of flesh
And it whispers into your ears into the silent of the night
Just hoping that for a second you'll forget what it is you are
So hear me, my friends, don't listen!
It's a trap to think that you are not the infinite
It is a tragedy to believe even for a second that you are not
The culmination of each incredible
Improbable moment that led to your existence
You heard me right
And those scars you carry, well those are yours
So wear them with honor
Like badges you've collected along your way
Place them over your heart one by one for all to see
And stand up straight, hold your head up high
And don't you even think of wasting any more
Of your precious moments looking down on yourself
Wake up
You deserve that
You are human
You're alive
Wake up
You're a wildfire
Burn bright
Burn bright
Burn bright!
