Rise Above

Some people try to explain

The way the world works,

Some people hide away

And don’t embrace their quirks.

But if you live everyday

In constant fear of pain

Then you’re just wasting your stay,

Better to play the game

 

Life doesn’t have a remote

To pause and play all day

Sometimes we just can’t control

So please try not to stray

If you force change to behave,

You’ll always miss today

You learn you can’t always save

So try your best to say:

 

If you close your eyes

Every time you’re scared

Life will waste away

Leave you unprepared.

If you hide from pain

Then you won’t feel love

Never run away

You can rise above.

 

Sometimes life can be too much

Busy days and nights, all the rush

Need a break or a friend to clutch

Then back to earth at a loving touch

 

If you close your eyes

Every time you’re scared,

Life will waste away

Leave you unprepared.

If you hide from pain

Then you won’t feel love,

Never run away

You can rise above.
