Be My Reason


Sometimes in life we take things for granted
Like a smile on our face and love in our heart
The tears we shed are our inner thoughts
Reminding us of the demons inside each day
Protected by our mundane daily routine
A wave and a nod to the passing stranger
Thinking there is no way it can happen to me
Life becomes difficult


Chorus:

Be my reason to walk
Be my reason to dance
Be my reason to smile
Be my reason I get up in the morning
Be my reason to love
Be my reason to breathe
Be my reason to live


Trapped in a cage that no-one can see
The face in the mirror is an unknown image
People only see me from the outside
They don’t see me from the inside
I try to brave, I try to smile
Each passing day becomes harder to live
Where do I turn?  Who can I talk too
A struggle only some will ever see

Bridge:
It’s time we opened up to let the world outside see
None of us our perfect, not you and not me
It’s time to talk we all agree

Lost in a world


I don’t know where to turn
I don’t know what to say
trying desperately to fit in
But I’m always on the edge
A one-dimensional mind
With a three-dimensional soul
Reaching for something
Something too far away


Chorus:
I’m lost, lost in a world I don’t belong
Trying to find my escape
Trying to find the words,
Unable to speak, unable to tell the truth
I’m lost but I don’t want to be found


Skirting on the edges of society
Trying to find my crowd
But I don’t know who that is
I’m in the shadows
I’m behind my mask
The world a different place
A million thoughts
Conflicting and confusing

Bridge:
Help me find my world
A world where I can be me
Help me find my crowd
A crowd where they see what I see
