It's a sea,raging all around meThere's no escapeFrom the feeling of drowningHow could theyjust leave me here?Alone to drownNo sense of directionWhere is up?Where is forward?What is going on?There's nothing,Nothing leftI need to find my own wayWith no one to help meMaybe,
I'm just a brick wallSitting here proud and strongBut it comes with a priceI'm always alone, no people to lean on meIf I crumble there's no one to repair meSo that day when I crumbleI'll just sit thereMore broken than I amThe enemy doesn't stop beating on mePounding me, trying to get me to crumbleSometimes people come and helpBut usually they leave before the enemy is doneThe enemy slowly beats me, the brick wall, downAnd when they finally manage, it's chaos insideThere is nowhere safe to hideThey can only stand and fight
The night is come, but not too soon;And sinking silently,All silently, the little moonDrops down behind the sky.There is no light in earth or heavenBut the cold light of stars;And the first watch of night is givenTo the red planet Mars.Is it the tender star of love?The star of love and dreams?O no! from that blue tent above,A hero's armor gleams.And earnest thoughts within me rise,When I behold afar,Suspended in the evening skies,
Youth of delight! come hitherAnd see the opening morn,Image of Truth new-born.Doubt is fled, and clouds of reason,Dark disputes and artful teazing.Folly is an endless maze;Tangled roots perplex her ways;How many have fallen there!They stumble all night over bones of the dead;And feel--they know not what but care;And wish to lead others, when they should be led.
"Hope" is the thing with feathers --That perches in the soul --And sings the tune without the words --And never stops -- at all --And sweetest -- in the Gale -- is heard --And sore must be the storm --That could abash the little BirdThat kept so many warm --I've heard it in the chillest land --And on the strangest Sea --Yet, never, in Extremity,It asked a crumb -- of Me.
