This world is noisy,
It’s a strange place,
It plays tricks,
And lacks grace.
Here today,
Gone tomorrow,
Such is the way,
With happiness and sorrow.
I wait around,
For the sight of reason,
To understand that,
Even love has its season.
Dreams will visit,
Nightmares in tow,
Happiness is slow to come,
And so quick to go.
But we live on,
Despite the threats,
Walk ahead regardless,
Of the lies we are fed.
Step after step,
Courage amplifies,
The laws of the land,
A brave man defies.
Deliverance comes,
To who might cry,
Who despite the tears,
Never forgets to try.
