Our time

October 5, 2013

 

Everyday we must fight

To shape the rest of our lives

Follow the heat

To find the light

 

Victory will not fall onto our laps

Knowledge isn’t just facts

Tunnel vision to the end

With or without a friend

 

Through each pore

Greatness we sweat

We can only see regret

When were weak and upset

 

Our strength will break the noise

That lingers in the air

And all the broken ones will be repaired

By the time we exhale
