For My Grandpa
I have learned something throughout my years,
And I have not been around for long
I have not yet seen everything there is to see
Within only a few short years I have, in fact realized something,
The world is a powerful force
It has the power to bring the strongest person to their knees
And make the weakest person stand
Sometimes I feel bitter at the world
Sometimes it does things that are painful
It is times like this I question its methods
I have noticed that as the world loves to test our limits
But it also lives to see us crush them
Prove both it and us wrong
The world plays a cruel game,
Pushing you to what you think is your end,
And then showing you how much farther you can go
The world gives us unity
A family that helps us battle our biggest wars
The world has tested us
And you the most
However the world has not yet shown you your limit
The world presents you a challenge
And gives you the power to recover
It only needs you to dominate it
The world takes the strongest person
And shows them how powerful they are
I know now times seem hard
And it seems that the world is against you
But the world is teaching you a lesson
That you are stronger than you may believe
The world has given you your family
Together
We are powerful
And we will show the world
No time can separate us
No 1237 miles,
No 18 hours can stop us
We would travel for years
Just to combat the world
Together
The world has tested you
Thrown you down
Now it is time
For you to show the world You can get back up
And you will get back up
Show the world
You are stronger than you may appear
The world has not won yet
And history repeats itself
Doesn't it?
We have won before
And we will win again
Together
The world is like the winter
A cold and brutal force
One thing always stands through in the winter,
After the dark and cold storms,
The brightest roses
And bluest skies always follow
And now the winter is at its coldest
And its power seems the most daunting,
But these flowers will be the most beautiful of all
You have not yet seen the bluest sky
But aren't we all visionaries?
I have not been around for very long
I have not yet seen the world
Although I have learned some things in my time,
The world is a powerful force
But nothing is more powerful
Than the force of a man and his family
