hope Lyrics

Like paperweights in the back of my head

Like layers of skin I wish that I could shed

Memories I wish could be like the dreams

The ones I wake up from and I forget

But i wake up and it's all the same

It's hard enough to make it through some days

Just trying to keep my head on straight

I'm just trying to keep my head on straight

But I can't and I fall apart more often than not

I'm okay with that if it shows you where to start

But I can't keep those happy thoughts that keep me off my feet

They all slip past my eyes before my hands can even reach

Everything's not as it should be

Including me

Would the child you were be okay with who you are

Are you really content with all that you settle for

Do you really have everything that you need

When you're faced with death will you go as confidently

See that day's coming sooner than you'll ever know

And you'll stand before the throne of the One who spoke the words

That encapsulate all you are meant to be and all you mock

In the end all that matters is if you're known or if you're not

I pray you are
