With a heavy heart
With dreams torn apart
I wander looking for answers
People prowling like hungry panthers
Doing all they can to turn you away
All they can to make hope fray
But I can't give up
It's not an option
There are people that need me
And I have to show them what I can be
Being there when they falter
Being there when they can't go any longer
They try to keep up
Like a tired little pup
We stop to rest
Is this just a foolish test?
Testing us to see what we do
After biting off more than we can chew
I won't give up
I can't give up
I continue on
Some follow along
They start to fall one by one
I guess their journey is done
I can't see the end
But I know it's around the bend
Somewhere ahead
There won't be so many dead
Following my song
I continue on
A heavy heart weighs me down
A broken dream makes a sound
I see friends
And family too
They keep me going - even if this test never ends
