More Than, Oh I'm Getting By

[seeyat]

I don't know who's been drafted or who holds their old beliefs,
I know the past plus decade has seen wins for many more,
I'd never tell you no if you have ever held a dream,
I'd let you fail young and still hold an open door,

I know that death would only watch if I merely walk a line,
I also know she rears her head if ever I do stay,
So if I wish to start again and know that I'll be fine,
The life I choose to have will surely be more than okay,

No matter if my life's the same, It must uproot and needs to travel,
This final statement once it's made, shall press upon your ears,
I also know with all of me and all of us, who once did hold the gavel,
He'd want it no other way, for life is something worth a few small fears
The fact is here, I hold it near, I'd rather see none of you again,
As the life that I continue to live will dry your tears
