Dream Seed
or
Rise Again

 

Look deep into your soul,
to the seed you planted there,
so long ago.
It holds your hopes, your dreams,
all that you want to see come true,
It's all inside of you.

Close your eyes, grab ahold
of all the dreams you want to see
come true
In this world,
They can be accomplished
but only by you.

Reach down into yourself,
grab ahold of that dream
use it to pull yourself out of the dark;
Have no fear, just faith,
and within yourself,
you will succeed.

And if you find you can't do it alone,
Don't be afraid to reach out:
The helping hands are there to guide you,
We will not let you fall.

So pull yourself up,
Brace yourself to face world again,
It gets easier each time,
For we're here for you.

And with each day, life continues on,
and we have no choice but to live in it,
But we do have a choice,
in HOW we live it.

I've seen you standing tall,
And yet I've seen you fall,
But always still,
When the fires have finally burnt to the ground and the world lies in scattered ash around you,
You always rise again.

You always rise again.
