Fighting

while trying to forget it all

Did they always tell you

keep fighting through it all

Theres a light at the end of each tunnel you go through

Did you always believe

and keep fighting through it all

watching for the light to get you through.

Did you always just believe

blindly getting up,

after each new time you fell.

Were you pushed along,

in the darkness that surrounds you

Kicked and poked and laughed at

and left so all alone?

Did you keep on rising?

Watching for that dot of light

to give you strength, to give you hope

to keep you moving forward to the light

The shadows they surround you

giving false love, false understanding

while all along they left you standing all alone

in the darkness that surrounds you

Did you find your strength

within a thousand darkest nights, alone

Did you find the hope inside your heart

regardless of the pain

Crawling through the darkness that you found to be your home

When suddenly the soul you longed to smother

pushed you up and out of all that hurt you

When suddenly the heart you thought had shattered

still found the love inside itself for you

Did the opening surprise you

as the fresh air lift you up

and there the light did find you

at the end of the tunnel you found yourself out of

Don't just believe

find its source inside you

breathe in the air you deeply deserve to breathe

The light of a million stars

drawing you out of the darkness they thought you'd never leave

You found it's sharp embrace

The moon upon your face

the sun rising in the East

to find you here.

Maybe still alone

or watched from afar still today

keep fighting for each tunnel

that draws you near.

The light will always find you

at the end of each new tunnel

alone or followed by a million other souls

be the strength that others do not have

be the eyes that others cannot see

let your hands find each new crevice

that pulls you forward to the light that shines

Don't let others push you, pull you or leave you there

find your own light at the end

make it shine for your souls brightness.

You are not what others think or say

you are not what others do in the darkness of the night

You are you bright and true

you make your choices for the life you know you deserve to have

don't let others build such darkness in your soul

that you can't see the light

as it shines down upon your soul

at the end of each new tunnel.

Keep the love, Keep the hope, don't let the them take it from you

They may be lost in the darkness without you

be true to what is inside of you

Hold dear to the love you share, don't leave it there

Watch the path ahead, the light it shines so bright

doesn't matter who led you there

that is them , and this is you

you deserve to come out smiling

breathing in the fresh clean air

the moon shining down upon your skin and stars abundant there

let your path lead to the sunshine as it rises in the East

lead others to the path you lead, find your purest love inside your soul

let it lead you through the darkness

listening to its quiet musical tones.

you deserve to live inside the light, no matter who pushed you down.

Let it be your own clear light

that finds you at the end

Let others actions be left untouched at each of tunnels bends.

You are not them inside the darkness, they are just he start

Stumble out and breathe the air and no they are no part

You've got yourself that's all that counts

Forgive, forget and help them out

for they are not you, they are just them and that is not what is in your heart.

The tunnels always end keep on moving

There is always a light, even in the darkest night.
