no one said
it was going to be easy
no one said
you would fall on the ground
no one said
the tears would come
no one said
the world would forsake you
you first learned to crawl
but you find yourself
down on your knees
and everything you ever hungered for
you end up pleading harder
for misery to leave
funny thing is the misery outlasts the pleasure
because i said the truth
look and see it'll come to pass
find out my words will last
when flesh and lies get tangled in compromise
my truth will cut the darkness away
wake up
early sunrise
its a new day
you start over
eyes begin to clear
grey skies turn golden skies
and the sun
can't hide what it beholds
