Our Greatest Downfall
Misconceptions and misinterpretations drown us all
Our own ignorance and arrogance is our greatest downfall
Closed minds and hardened hearts all around
So then deaf is our ears to loves sweet sound
We all push others away and keep up a wall
Keeping out the hurt but also the chance of love its so tall
Stuck in place we are who do not open our minds
Sometimes in the wildest places are lifes greatest finds
There's always hope although it may not seem
And for themselves everyone has the chance to redeem
So take a step back and take yourself away
Think before you act and really hear the words you say
Take the chance to see through some else's eyes
Listen to more then words see through the lies
Give more to yourself and of yourself and you may be surprised by what you find
Learn from your mistakes and leave your past behind
Assume.. makes an ass of you and me
Keep an open mind and you can set yoursef free
