Of every day I draw a breath,
is one step closer to my death.
Thoughts of the change I'd bring,
but, I've never risk to do a thing.
Waiting for my ship to roll by,
I hold on and wait my turn to fly.
Knowing there is more out there,
Come on, I just--want my share!
Yet, opportunity, will not knock,
when obstacles are built to block
me out from my worldly desires.
Nothings left here--my life in fire.
Burning away the endless pain,
I move along--yet it is in vain.
Give me a chance, for me to show
there is more to me, you should know.
Folks seem happy with what they got.
More out of life, I'm not asking a lot.
Stuck in this God forsaken town,
any longer I'm going to drown.
"Burning bridges a must" I say,
it is time--I find my own way.
Letting you go, to fall behind
it's your life that remains--blind.
Unable to see the future's light
shining like a beacon in the night.
I hear it calling out my name;
there nothing is the same.
Good-bye to a life held in the past.
If I were to stay, I could never last.
