48 YEARS WITH 20,000 DREAMS STILL WHEN I WAKE UP I COULD HEAR 10,000 SCREAMS~ SO IT SEEMS~I SEE DIFFRENT DIMENSIONS ALL COMING APART AT THE REALM OF ITS SEAMS...
AWARE OF MY POSITION BUT ON OPPOSITE SHIFTS,
THE CLOSER I GET TO THE EDGE THE FARTHER IT DRIFT..
HAVE Y'ALL EVER SEEN A SUNRISE WITH THE MOON STILL IN TRANSITION,
A NEW DAY TRYING TO BE BORN
BUT THROUGH THE MIND OF SOMEONE ELSE'S VISIONS...
IT'S A COLD WORLD WITH THE SAME BLUE SKIES,
AND EACH TIME I SNAP OUT OF IT I SEE THE SAME MIRROR LOOKING AT THE SAME DAMN EYES....
STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND WHILE FIGHTING FOR MY SANITY,
WHY HAVE I BEEN CHOSEN TO BRING HOPE BACK TO HUMANITY...
EVEN AT TIMES WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN SEEM HUMAN,
I SEE SHAPE SHIFTERS, DEMONS, REPTILIANS AND MUTANTS...
AND THERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS BATTLE,
TRYING TO KEEP THE LAMBS FROM THE WOLVES AND FROM BEING EATEN LIKE CATTLE...
MY BACK AGAINST ONE REALITY WHILE MY FOOT IS IN ANOTHER,
HISTORY ALREADY ERASED MY ANCESTORS WHEN I LOST MY GRANDPARENTS AND MY MOTHER...
NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER,
I GOTTA FIGHT MY WAY BACK WITH THOSE VISIONS I DON'T WANNA REMEMBER...
I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAY I WASN'T EVEN SCARED,
MY HEART BE RACING WHILE RECITING NUMEROUS OF PRAYERS...
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M BACK IN MY VERY OWN BODY,
AFRAID TO OPEN MY EYES CAUSE I JUST HAD THE LIFE SCARED OUTTA ME...
SLOWLY FLOATING AS IF I'M UNDER WATER,
KNOWING I GOTTA RETURN
BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM MY FATHER....
