Stand up! Withstand!
Fall towards my hands!
Get up! Look up!
As we walk through the sands
Of time. Time's up!
What do you demand?
Desire! Dream!
Have you forgotten the plan?
The plots and schemes?
The visions and scenes?
Beginnings and ends
And the things in between?
Of smiles, and tears
Of laughter and fears
Of kisses and jeers
Of a love for the years?
The ages? And stages?
Of a book filled with pages.
Stretch your wings wide
Break out of the cages.
Now is the time
Commit this one crime
And steal your life back.
Blaze the trails
Lay the track
Now set sail
Don't look back.
I stand at your side
And I pledge to take stride
Resplendent the beauty
Is a soul that won't hide
When passions denied
And in fury defied
I ask you my friend,
How will you reply?
