The Light


No matter how hard I try it seems like I keep getting farther and farther away Maybe this connection is not part of the design that leads to our fate We were moving along schedule smoothly going up step by step Up half way i put myself back to the very first step You're so focused on the future there is no time for the present I admire that but i would like to be blessed with your presence as my present so i can present you to the world as my future And show you off like a number one movie picture At the top of the stairs there is a bright light If i can reach it i will never be frightened by the night It will take me away to a whole nother planet Without it my lungs wont be able to stand it So i crawl up the steps just to be careful Running may lead to a pain that is dreadful One thing i do know is patience is a virtue No matter the time that light is always beautiful Like the sun there are many stars but suns there is only one I have seen billions of stars but i only want my sun It brightens my day and gives me the energy to keep crawling Every step I go up i lose my fear of falling
