Why I Sing

Defiantly describe to me this battlefield you face
Make haste with your description, not a word can go to waste
For all the unmade memories we've yet to have misplaced
You've died so many times, you've bled and made your case

Skies so blue reflected rays of sunlight in the clouds
Do things in ways that scream so silently that you are proud
Break through the faulted stars that glisten secretly so loud
Undying in their dedicated task to pierce this shroud

I've known you well before the moments placed before our eyes
This present gift of time defies the cries I hear that pry
Inside a twisted memory decaying as it ties
I'll someday reach a precipice that holds before it dies

When moments free of doubt have given forth a life so pure
And all the truth inside us tells us we can now be sure
Your smile is a reminder and your pain I do endure
So quickly does it torture me upon my journey's tour

Clearly, this reality is better than their dream
As we are all susceptible to faith in what we gleam
Where purity of heart can bleed through, bursting at the seems
The war that rages on with those we once called on for steam

This power that defies all odds, all gods, as it is love
The one and only movement we should surely hold above
Your peace, your pale reality can feel like a shove
Though just for now I do believe your hands should don a glove

By knowing there is something broken in this unknown time
A missing piece, and extra phrase that crowds a perfect rhyme
I know you can find comfort knowing there was just an extra dime
A step within the ladder that we very few must climb

It's days of broken chaos that remind us where we stand
These days of deep reflection when it's wrong to just hold hands
Where hugs and holds and love so bold have all been roughly banned
Call on your thoughts and memories that could be deemed a brand

So all the world around you can be bettered by your voice
Be proud, sing loud and tear the shroud, defiance is a choice
The pain they'll cause by holding back the laughter heard as noise
I beg you, let this fear of life be lost again, as we all should stand at poise

We are one to love, to hold so far above, pure of heart, ready to dance
We must wait for this moment to be seen, to take our chance
Until then, sing, sing loud for all to hear, without fear, that is my stance
For so many are just passers-by whom we spare a second glance

This is the time, I tell you that you have lost your grip
My heart was always mine to do what I wish
The love inside to share with young and old
The soul within a voice of none so bold
Now it's passed, another moment to be more
I've found the reason to begin, to cross another shore
This path you never let me lead myself to see
Could none but her have known it that had not let it be
This is a journey I choose to make
A choice to make each other great
The youngest hearts to realize potential
Holding onto things so inconsequential
I may never ask, never will
There is a doubt within me always
Born with that curse, unresolved
Only doubtful I could ever recall
Still, with day's passing, each person I see
All the time singing out, as if to scream
If unrequested, I will not stop
This is my medicine, my voice is how I'm found
Never to be bested, reaching past the top
Discovering myself in the sea of faces I'm bound

You're always on my mind, playing with time
Passing in and out of conscious thought and rhyme
Chances never there unknown are they
When we pass just moments and inches away
There will never be a time I pursue your dream
Though I may always wish to it may seem
Not one of my ideas will ever ring
As true to my own nature's call to sing
seeyat: (Default)
I'll sing always in all ways, never swinging for sound
Lungs clear, no more fear, of judgement to be found
Where it was that lie betrayed, I can understand
For at one time I said I tried, to make her hold my hand
One single statement, underground, broke my future hold
I'm not acoustic, will not lose it, cut it off my soul

Death defying, am not trying, to become a band
Never listen, not my mission, now I take a stand
What I say within those walls, means nothing to me
I speak and walk away from all, until I am set free
There is no trust for any man, or woman in the halls
A key so tightly bound to hell for winters and for falls

Break the chain and float away, I'll scream it under breath
If choice were there for here or there, I'd rather face my death
I've never tried, nor will my eyes be bound to steel rings
There's nothing I could do but say, I'll watch but never bring
Enjoy the life you lead with love above the rest of hope
I understand the fears you don't, for all the ways to cope

I've seen such anger, rage and screams, reminded by a sound
Unfaithful hatred, stood untainted, make this not be found
My life has led me far from such a daunting memory
For all my instrumental skills are bound to melody
My voice, now here for lungs are clear, again for many years
Again, I place my hand upon your own and try to dry your tears

I am a voice, that is my choice, never any more
Perhaps some time my lungs will share their fluid with a bore
No matter what, that air within is all I want to feel
For I have seen the anger within swinging arms, it's real
This calm and happy life I lead will always be the same
I'll softly speak to keep them strong, then laugh and smile at games
