Best of Me
Wake up
Sound the alarm
Your days are numbered
Life is passing you by
Don’t count on tomorrow to be the person you should
That’s a lie, truth is you never would
Change the tide today
Leave your chains at bay
Let these hurdles before you be only a memory
For the mirror reflects your worst enemy
You needed reasons to stay behind
But a lack of contentment was all you could find
Haunted by a bleak picture of what could have been
A deep cry of desperation begins from within
It’s time to let the walls of self protection fall
Throw your hands up in the air and surrender it all
As stubbornness and pain melts freedom flows
Revival of your soul abounds as you simply let go
No more waiting around
It’s time to be set free
Hope is found
I’m giving the best of me
