We wake up to see a brand-new world each day

Every moment

Fueled by possibility

Open your heart and see the opportunity

Take a chance on life

And beauty you might see

So it seems. Sow the seeds

Back when I was still young

I held the whole world right in my hands

I knew that I could never fail

I had learned all I needed to know

Each day brought new ways to live

My bravado would take me anywhere

And I knew that I’d live forever

The veil on my eyes masked my pain

Hear me. Believe me

I believe that the world is a beautiful place

Surround me. Astound me

I know the world is a better place

Hear me. Believe me

I believe that the world is a beautiful place

Help me. Protect me

I open my mind to see

And as time passed me by

I learned just how little I really knew

My well of knowledge ran dry

Even when I worked to keep it half full

As I learned to take different views

The well became an unfillable hole

Convictions of immortality

Turned to lingering death

Hear me. Believe me

I believed that the world was a beautiful place

Help me. Protect me

I thought the world was a better place

Hear me. Believe me

I believed that the world for me was not lost

Help me. Protect me

My world has turned into chaos

My whole world has turned upside down

In a slow churning pain

I don’t know if I can take it

My life is spiraling

Some are stricken with death and disease

Others must fight for their humanity

A refraction that time may not heal

Hell cannot be worse than this

I fear an end to my world

I know my life still has worth

Who can we trust?

Who’s not driven by lust

When all that we know will turn to rust?

Why should we try?

When we know we will die?

A single moment will leave us asking why

What will you do when your world turns to chaos?

Will you hold firm to your beliefs?

Where will you be when your world turns to chaos?

Will you still love all that you see?

Forever. Remember

I try to remember the world I once loved

Forever. Surrender

It’s time I let go of the world I loved

Acceptance. Repentance

I begin to build a new love for this world

Hear me. Believe me

I’ll leave this world a better place

My life seemed to pass me by

Every second filled with joy and misery

The world’s much darker than I ever thought before

Shall I go on? How can I not?

The world can do with less chaos

Or maybe just a little love

So it seems. I’ve sown the seeds
