“Uplift”

“Uplift”

Thinking of the waves, the point at which I break
You wanted me to stay in a place I couldn’t take
I had to get away to try to seize the day
And look for something more…
Sometimes I have a drink, to try and calm the soul
And suddenly you think I’m losing my control
I’m working out the kinks that seemingly withdrawal
The feeling I adore…

I brought a knife to a gunfight
I still survive, scraping by

While I soldier on I wonder what went wrong
The effort and the brawn, working at the crack of dawn
Humble and withdrawn, abased with promise gone
Surely things will change…
Suggestions they advise are probably just lies
Through other people’s eyes I’m untitled and unwise
When problems do arise their hands are always tied
This part of life is strange…

An uphill battle, I’m losing steam
My courage rattled, still I dream

Time to make my move and start to persevere
I learn from what I lose and the music that I hear
Determined to improve and rid myself of fear
Stop the endless drifting…
Cheers to progress made one step at a time
The worries start to fade and the wisdom starts to rhyme
Not regretting if I stayed, the feeling is sublime
The progress is uplifting…

An even warfare, momentum swings
See what new scare tomorrow brings

Uplift, stay strong
Keep livin’ on
Uplift, stay strong
Hope is not gone
