Can you feel my heart beat racing?
Could we take one more step, fuck regret, and start chasing
The dreams we were afraid of facing
There’s no distance now I’m afraid of crossing
The nights I was left turning and tossing
The world I was lost in harden me to never soften
I think about it often, but I’m at a new place
Where I never want to miss a moment because there’s not a moment to waste
There are so many things I need to do for myself before I leave this space
I want to achieve and succeed in all the ways I’ve dreamed it
I want to be needed and be able to breathe, to kiss in love and mean it
I want my word to be heard, believe in dreams so hard it becomes the reality I want to be it
Can you feel my soul light up glowing?
This world has been spinning since its birth and hasn’t been slowing
Like waterfalls that haven’t stopped flowing, were moving in and out going
Out of love we linger and sometimes out of fear or hate we have no destination
But I see 6 billion different faces, all in need to be free, feel peace and not desperation
The world is what we make it, we should save it not break it, we all need salvation
It’s so easy to be turned to temptation; lets turn and make this day an occasion
Where we hold hands and say lets stop fading
Spread the happiness I feel across oceans that never stop waving
I’ve been praying that this better day would come, and with love we could start saving

This is great
the meaning is wonderful, it is really special, to so many people
The rhyme was a little restricted but really good in the same way, the way rhyme should work!
Well done
Thank you so much
All my love

I liked the meaning here but not the rhyme. I think it'd be a little more easier to frame your ideas and to take them in if it wasn't in rhyming triplets, especially since some of these were full rhyme and some were not- it's generally not a good idea to mix the two
Thanks for your comment, I removed the mermaids
