Debate

It's hard to see
What soon will be

Why are you waiting
Don't keep on debating

If it feels like you're falling
Rise up to a higher calling

You can try to escape, but you'll find
You can't hide inside your mind

It's because of darkness
That we look for light

Inside, feeling the emptiness
Of all that's good and right

Not just a change of mind
More like a change of heart

Leaving the past behind
Each day's a brand-new start

It's due to death salvation is in sight
It's from our fear we find the strength to fight

It is, for fear of failure that we work hard to succeed
Our greatest motivation comes when we are most in need

The higher you climb, the farther you fall
If you want to find life, you have to lose it all

The present has no future. The future has no past
So close your eyes, wake up and dream, and learn the truth at last

Isolated in your illusions
I'll let you come to your own conclusions

Imagination fuels the fire, but reality is cold
You see, some stories should never be told

Woe to those who switch bitter for sweet
What will they do when their time is complete

When dreams turn to dust and nightmares bring to nothing
Everything that might had ever been once, meant something

Perspective

Don't you ever wonder what it would be like to see
The world that we inhabit from the depths of the galaxy

Don't you ever wonder what it would feel like to be
Staring at a spot of blue that is the eternal sea

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to go
To the moon with all its glory and have its sand between my toe

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to know
How it feels inside to stand and watch the Earth as it glow

We are so determined to keep our lives in control
We seem to have forgotten about the human soul

And while most hang their heads and feel rejected
Some of us know that all it takes is a little perspective.
