babies without mothers or families or homes
children without wishes or places to go
no where to turn sinking to your end
this is how it ends it never begins

stomachs without morsels hungry cold nights
walking forever till there is no end in sight
nowhere to turn no way to fight
your heads above mud but soon you wont see light

darkness envelopes and drags you to your grave
some are strong their courage makes them brave
but even the strong can have hearts so weak they die
and eventually there’s no more truth just lies

stand on another take someone’s life
so u can still breath for a second longer, right
is it fair is it right but do u do it,
under mortal stars tonight for life u cry

walk among the living though u died
tell ur mom your fine but still she cries
take her hand to walk with her she’ll smile
but you know and I know it’s only for a while

the darkness takes some but not all the lives
those who are brave in heart and brave in mind
don’t need luck just what’s in two hands
hope on fingers through hopeless lands

take ur time don’t think too much
you don’t need to carry that weight
you don’t have to save the world today
just try for now to save face

I never could and never did but life has moved on
because I hurt those around their still hurt when I’m gone
time will tell if I earned this life whether or not I was brave
will anyone stand or speak a word, next to my sinking grave
