Revelation

it's a sad, sad revelation
to find that you are looking down
when all the while you
thought you were looking up

it's a sad, sad revelation when
you finally ask for what you want
and get a cold shoulder in return

it's a sad, sad revelation when
you find you have been walking solo
when you thought someone had your hand

it's a sad, sad revelation when
the friend you loved turns out to be
a stranger

it's a sad, sad revelation when
you dared to dream
and find hope buried at your feet

it's a sad, sad revelation when
you know it's time to build new dreams
but your body says
"No, I've had enough"

Change

change of heart
twist of fate
a hidden secret
boy I took the bait
a shattered dream
hope long lost
wonder what else
besides self respect
this cost
takin a look
on the other side
seein' renewed faith
and steadfast pride
in the eyes of ghost
amidst whose presence I'll shine
naturally we'll intertwine
I'll be his jewel, he'll be my treasure
hand in hand we'll dream together
