Tears, I feel them,
Yet not one does drop.
They are there,
Holding still,
Under flesh they dwell.
Resting and dragging your soul,
Down and down;
Making you feel as if you’ll drown.
Why don’t they leave?
Why can’t they fall?
Tears, I feel them,
Yet not one does fall.
They are there, holding still,
Under flesh they dwell…
If only they fell.

Sometimes I wish that I could be a traveler who wanders ever free.
Free to go wherever they choose.
Free to hear all the news.
Free to be who they want to be.
Free to see what they want to see.
Free to run through corn fields, and sleep out under the moon;
And see all the wonderful beauty that most forget to tune.
Sometimes I wish that I could be, a wanderer who travels ever so free.

You have the power to change a life;
To turn it from the pain and strife.
You have the power with your words,
To make them feel cool or like nerds.
You have the power with each breath,
To contribute to or stop a death.
You have the power inside of you,
To change what they will think and do.
You have the power just like me,
To help the lame to walk and the blind to see.
You have the power at your core,
To change a person’s life, forevermore.

Why does life have to be so hard.
Each day deals us a new card.
Sadness and pain are everywhere,
While happiness is often found to be rare.
People are almost always sad,
But some can hide all the bad.
Life can be so painful when buckets of rain are full,
In your body,
In your mind,
In your heart…which is broken apart.

There are no words to speak,
What I feel inside at my peak.
There are no words to see,
What is going on inside of me.
There are no words to hear,
Of what is in my heart to fear.
There are no words to tell,
What I know so very well.
There are no words at all,
To express what’s beyond this wall.
