Behind a mask, don't hide your pain
No hope there, nothing to gain
Rise above your broken dreams
Behind closed eyes, pleasant things
Each new day, search to find
Things that only bring peace of mind.
To wish it different
Or to remain the same
The paths we have chosen
Only ourselves can we blame.
With the many difficulties
In this life we must face
The trials and struggles
That daily take place.
Do we focus to do better
With all that we claim
We each make our destiny
Only ourselves can we blame.
I look around me and I see
Change taking place constantly.
Never knowing from day to day
What will come my way.
Do we really stop to think
Cause moments pass with a blink.
Sometimes it's hard to rearrange
From the past, things we can't change.
So for now I'll have to be strong
And continue looking for a place to belong.
Smile
When you're happy
Smile
Even when blue
Smile
Show it everyday
Smile
It will get you through
Step by step
Forward I'll go
Do I search for variables
Or things that I know.
With my head held high
And looking straight ahead
Not wanting any followers
Certainly not to be led.
As much as I want
Can't change the past
I can only keep wandering
Until the very last.
I hear a heart beating
A dream lives on
Always seeking
From a seed sown.
Reaching forward
To a new sound
Listening carefully
To those all around.
Traveling onward
And never retreating
A dream lives on
I hear a heart beating.
Like the clouds in the sky
The waves upon the sand
Even family and friends
Things forever change.
Whats seen on the outside
Feelings of the heart
Our hopes and our dreams
Things forever change.
The moments of beauty
Regrets and the pain
Live for today, cause
Things forever change.
I watch the sunrise each morning
Come up so grand and bright
To witness Gods wonder
And think, what a beautiful sight.
But inside I feel a raging storm
I'm lost within a shadow
Sometimes forgetting who I am
Like looking through a window.
My thoughts are forever hidden
And words few and far in between
This terrible pain I feel inside
I make sure is never seen.
Behind a smile I hide my tears
The ones that flow each day
I have found no way to stop them
There's nothing anyone can say.
So many thoughts run through my mind
My heart full of sorrow and pain
Although today is brand new
The hurt will always remain.
Impossible sometimes to go forward
But on with my daily task
Forever a smile on my face
It has become the perfect mask.
Look though the darkness
Toward the light that shines
Seek not with the eyes
But from the heart that binds
The beauty, the wonder
All the cherished finds
Securing the goodness
Deep within our minds.
