You determine your success
your life is up to you.
Hard work, dedication, determination.
Till its the only thing you know.
The struggle is real
struggle is the only thing you feel.
Congratulations.
Success is in the palm of your hand.
Meanwhile, my palms are sweaty and my heart beats at a rate you wouldn't understand.
Everything seems bland, since I don't give my colors a chance.
I'm enveloped in the black abyss of nothingness,
I can see everyone else up on the surface but I'm still stuck below,
here alone, I can see everyone is trying to help me out,
I held his hand
reached for his heart
but an arm's reach
only reaches so far
I stood and strained
as if reaching for the stars
I reach and reach
stretching so far
I try for his heart
You’ve got that look in your eyes
And I can see you’re off somewhere
Building castles in the air
Hoping one day you can live up there
Hoping one day that you’ll be up there
There’s a lot of muddy water
To wade through.
It’s so easy to get bogged down
Stuck, lost in the muck.
But stay steady because
One little fish will guide you along,
With its shiny scales
