Silent Struggles


Fight to know the righteous will of God It's not our fault we dwell in concrete and not castles It's our will and stupidity that makes us weak to mankind's plans for ourselves Our hate, envy and emotions put us in a rut of despair only to fight the emptiness of plain suites and rotted buildings of the past We cry alone Dying in the dark While the light blinds us to believe we are our own saviour But not the will of God Clowns dazzle on the stage to entertain Joy, peace and prosperity While we suffer in mediocrity Low self esteem Low points Will make wonder about the other side The other side will shed the light Don't blind us with the shine But blind us with the truth We shall awaken As we fight no more Struggle no more Live in silence Only peace will harvest a fruitful labor A new day has begun A new tear to cry A new tear to cry of joy Harvesting in the spring summer fall and winter Bring forth the fight We will love on sight
