Understanding…

Love is endless…
But blinded by the truth,
If the truth was heard,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Love is like an echo…
Gets weaker with each bounce,
Gets harder to listen,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Love and Pain…
Share the same soul,
You need one to experience one,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Pain is lightless…
Each one hits harder,
Each one makes the world darker,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Pain is death…
Thoughts stay in the mind,
The body starts to over-analyze,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Love me tonight,
Love me always,
Hold me through the night,
Comfort me on all days,
Live with me forever,
Pain will be never,
Let me hold your hand,
Say this softly in your ear…

But…
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Keep Trying…

As time passes…
The heart grows stronger,
Love fills within,
You know longer wonder,
What life was before then.

The light replaces the dark…
You see what you’re looking at,
No longer taking a guess,
You now understand that,
Garbage day is good to clean up a mess.

You approach life positive…
You smile when you’re sad,
You laugh when you should cry,
You try your best to not get mad,
But at your best, the harder they’ll try.

Cause if you give up…
Then what was the point in trying,
If you think you have a chance to make it,
Then move forward, head high, face the music…

Take the step forward that will start forever…
