10 Billion Things

10 billion things to say to you

But when I go to speak the words

Nothing comes through.

So many feelings to express.

They cannot be put to rest.

Maybe this is the test.

The test of true happiness.

10 billion things to say to you

But when I go to speak the words

Nothing comes through.

You mean the world to me.

But how to make you see.

I need you, you give me hope.

Without you, my boat won't float.

10 billion things to say to you

But when I go to speak the words

Nothing comes through.

It sinks, goes to the bottom of the dam.

But do you even care, can you tell?

I mean....man.

10 billion things to say to you

But when I go to speak the words

Nothing comes through.

Life ain't easy to live.

Love ain't easy to give.

We need hope and inspiration

To stay strong and move along.

To go down this road is not an option.

This life is like an auction.

We bid on stuff no one needs.

While half of us bleed.

We use a knife to take a life.

The life we take is our own.

Look how much we've grown.

Together at heart, even though

We're worlds apart.

10 billion things to say to you

But when I go to speak the words

Nothing comes through.
