Because It's There

This life is a dream, a gift we receive.
To live and to love, we forge the path.

Our nightmare in birth, our struggle for worth.
In vain we carry on, our mission to become.
Dream this life, forge a path.
Please take this gift to live, to love.

Adapt to this world, it's a chance we must take.
We'll sing our song, we'll play our hand.

Why allow this crooked fate?
Broken world, retaliate.
The tunnel's light is unmoving.
Accept defeat!

Don't be afraid!
It burns your eyes but you persevere.
Obscures the path!
You must adapt because it's there.

Climb, find your way.
Scale high, don't look back.
With hope you will find the life you seek.

Judgement from birth,
criticize our worth.
We struggled to uphold.
Struck down, will we fold?

Climb, find your way.
Scale high, don't look back.
With hope you will find the life you seek.

I wish I could be some one,
be the moon and be the sun.
Ambition burned my wings ablaze,
shed a tear in these dark days.

Tearing down the walls of love,
soaring through the fire above.
Pride exists to be reclaimed!
Roll the dice, don't lose the game.

Carry the weight of the world,
the summit says you'll prove my worth.
Let me claim what's rightfully yours,
to take and mine to keep.

Stars begin to swarm around!
the path of fate, this tired ground.
Challenge met but all the while,
a mountain built on greed and guile.
