Take a moment to get lost in the sands of time
Listen as I spin a tale and twist a rhyme.
And know this isn’t as easy as I make it seem
To be able to give you hope, purpose and a brand new dream.
For we lost ourselves in a dream once before
Only to find out it was a nightmare when they shut the door.
But once the door shut, we were trapped in
Nothing more than discarded memories in the refuse bin.
What are you, when you are no more than a lost memory in a shattered dream?
When reality has gone up in smoke, no more than a vapor or steam.
But that was then, and this is now
This time will be different, somehow.
Because I have a new story, a new rhyme, a new song
It will end the nightmares, and get you back where you belong.
Instead of failing, you will be able to achieve
Just stop doubting and begin once more to believe.
Remember the truth is not a snake and you don’t have to be bitten,
Because this is your story and it is still unwritten.
Pick your battles and choose what war you wish to wage,
Because in the end you are more than just words on a page.
Don’t worry, even when the page comes to an end,
There is still another chapter, hidden just around the bend.
Even when the nights are cold and the days are long,
Just remember you can always re-write your song.
Sometimes things have a sad ending, or maybe the truth simply needs a little bending.
It is what you make it, don’t give up!
And know that no matter how much you drink, you can’t lose yourself in a cup.
When you reach the bottom, you’ll still be there.
You may give up, or cease to care, you may believe that it is more than you can possibly bear.
Look to the sky, God will be there.
He will lift you up
He will drag you out of the bottom of the cup.
God will bring you back to the heights, he will win all those unwinnable fights.
I hope you get the message I am sending, if not, this beginning may be your ending.
