We could surrender all of our dreams
We could be submissive to our fears
The shallows and shadows are a wall
Keeping us from getting what we need
If our chains lead to so many tears
Why bother at all?
Will the footprints we've left behind
Be remembered in memory
If at all
Or will pain by design rule our lives
Lead to an obscured vision
Will we lose it all?
With our presence passing
An interruption of our life
Sorrow stealing our time as time goes by?
