See lately I can't sleep without seeing the same dream, like its stuck on a repeat, and its a never ending cycle to me, like it's some twisted scene from the neverending story, I'm flying up on dragons like I'm Atreyu riding Falkor, I'm beginning to soar but sometimes I still fall, and I need to be ready for war ready to catch myself if I lose it all, I'm tryna recall my steps, take in each breath, call from the depths of my soul to protect, anyone that I feel might deserve the respect, I'm sure that it's right to believe in success but I've never been one for self-praise I don't self recommend, I ain't interested in being the best, I'm just doing the best with what I can, trying to accept the man that I am, I need to complete the steps to make a stand and learn to always be the better man, but it's hard to want to be better when everyone you know don't notice, it's just a part of my personality and I'm expected to be nothing less, and I feel ashamed when I fall short of my best, every day is spent upholding all the conditions I've set, I choose to reach for greatness but I'm struggling to take it I'm offering my aide to those I meet along the way, even though I've got nothing I need to give the world something back, for giving me this chance this opportunity to be, today, tomorrow, however long this life may be for me, every second is precious, it is given to me, I don't take it selfishly I thank the trees for helping me to breathe, I thank the sun for coming out on the colder days and warming me, I thank the birds and the bees for the flowers and the songs in the spring breeze, I thank life for the moments that I'm allowed to feel happy, and I thank sky for all the colours when the sun rise and the sunset, sometimes it's so beautiful that I get lost in it and I catch my breath, life, the miracle, the incredible journeys that we all take, the first steps and the first mistakes, that first step is so hard to take that most people give up or just turn away, is it really that hard to believe we're all great? If we could just reach inside ourselves inside the depths of our personal hell and just let go of all the pain, just let it wash away, maybe open up our hearts and clear our minds of all the disarray, reaching deeper then empty space and just letting our mind create a vision of a better world, a safer place, where no-one starves for days or gets underpaid, nobody is made to feel unappreciated or cast away, nobody stands out we're all one race, the human race, and I aim to win that game.
