The cold waves of reality constantly crash to shore.
Disenchantment shakes the world to its very core.
Somewhere, true treasures remain safe and sound.
We must continue to climb and get to higher ground.
Bitter rays beat down upon the pure of heart,
Innocent souls placed in a vulnerable position,
Innocent souls staring down strong opposition,
The icy rays of reality threaten to melt them apart.
Their heavy hearts weigh their stride,
Their sinking pride slows their feet,
They walk further into the heat,
A burning feeling devours them inside.
Burning questions they just can't hide,
Choking tears and swallowed pride,
Looming confusion is a sultry sheet,
The world is a furnace ready to overheat,
Cruelty and trials by fire,
They need to go higher.
To where resilience can be easily found,
Quick, get the innocent to higher ground!
The cold waves of reality constantly crash to shore.
Disenchantment shakes the world to its very core.
Somewhere, true treasures remain safe and sound.
We must continue to climb and get to higher ground.
Strong floods crash upon those gone astray,
Nonconformists paving their own trails,
Creative souls steering their own sails,
The strong floods of reality send them away.
Their opinions cast to the wayside,
Forced to walk in another’s shoes,
Left with only one path to choose,
A unique part of them has died.
Puddles of tears become a deluge,
Missing reflections provide no refuge.
Suppression is a cage with nowhere to go,
The world is a dam that’s ready to overflow.
Life with no desire,
They need to go higher.
To where honesty can be found,
Quick, get the stray to higher ground!
The cold waves of reality constantly crash to shore.
Disenchantment shakes the world to its very core.
Somewhere, true treasures remain safe and sound.
We must continue to climb and get to higher ground.
Heavy boulders flatten the ambitious,
Dreamers trying to envision better days,
Dreamers trying to walk through the fray,
The strong arm of reality is very vicious.
High hopes can’t fly in stormy skies,
Dreams don’t always inspire belief,
Optimism doesn’t always heal grief,
Positivity is smeared by a world of lies.
Painful tragedies sting and depress,
Adversity provides unforeseen stress.
Reality is a gray maze riddled with traps,
The world is a weak cave ready to collapse,
Stale gems are nothing to admire,
All these people need to go higher.
To where courage can be found,
Quick, get the optimistic to higher ground!
The cold waves of reality constantly crash to shore.
Disenchantment shakes the world to its very core.
Somewhere true treasures remain safe and sound.
We must continue to climb and get to higher ground.
