I need new wings to soar above these expectations I set before my eyes

My heart needs roots to grow in faith as this darkness hides my lies

While these scars expose a weakness I bear amongst my bleeding hands

I’ve sown this broken soul together but brought pain that always demands

An explanation that has no reason as I follow in another’s footsteps again

My wounds will bear my testimony of shame that leaves me hurting within

Why do I run to escape the disgrace I bring myself from unjustly acts I do?

Kissing my life goodbye as I watch these dreams vanish like morning dew

Today is almost over and tomorrow will finally be near to bring a new day

Are the winds of disaster stirring up trouble, take caution for there is a way?

We can break free and come to our senses by letting our eyes be open to see

There’s a life on the inside of our broken vessels that speaks of great love to me

As a revolution rises up like great empires that soon die to bring forth a legacy

In this mysterious world where I’ve just begun to understand who I need to be

So go and bury your past for the future is making way for a brighter tomorrow

It’s time to find that place of paradise where our souls can leave all our sorrow

For life is a blessing that we take for granted and seem to forget what it means?

To live for a purpose that we were designed to embrace but have let go unseen

May my words of encouragement never go ignored for they can build a champ?

Now is the moment to carry your sword and never let your heart grow damp

For failures can steal our confidence so that we lose all hope of gaining success

I pray that I never see you fall in despair and build roots that will truly impress
