Waves

As I listen to the waves now crashing on the shore
I don't know if I can take this any more
There are things that hurt so God damn bad
In my dreams and the choices that I never even had

There's a fire inside that burns at night
It's a little bit dark, but a lot of it's light
So I take that ache now straight from the soul
And I live, and I love, til I'm lost in the cold

Put one in the sky for the lives that we lost this year
The time that we held sincere
This one is for anybody going through a rough time
Having a real rough year

Every day is a blessing
So can we stop stressing over the little things
Every moment I'ma pray and hope
For you to rise up and to find your wings

This world tries to break us down
But ain't no way I'ma fall down without a fight
Even if I lose my life
The words that I share now capture and spread this light

So hold on tight
We gon' sit this thing out and I promise we'll be alright
We did not get this far just to lose it all
So we keep our faith inside

Tell all your haters they can catch these hands
I only fear God, I don't fear no thoughts
I don't fear no cogs of man

I don't take no shots, I don't have no hate to send
I've been too close to the edge to get caught up in th petty wars
Got scammed by a dude named Sebastian
Who claimed that he was from the Source

But I got something inside, that I know nobody can take from me
We got people all around us who love us that want us to succeed
All it takes is a little gratitude and appreciation to see these things
I just want y'all to know I love you and from you there will be great things

They can try to bring us down with their hurtful words
And their hurtful actions too
We will not beg nor bow to the scoundrels and the temptations they abuse
We will overcome the madness and the anger they harbor in their souls
We will not break in the face of hatred
Tell them now, we will never fold
