The Unbreakable

he was a kind hearted man in a hateful world

who caught every thing that life ever hurled

like the oldest mountain he always stood so tall

forever showing what it means to be unbreakable

paycheck to paycheck,

3 jobs a day,

he's the ransom for his family's pain

in the coldest world with the warmest heart,

he puts to shame what you consider hard

he's the man you don't see in the mirror

while the world was screaming death,

he chose a different song to hear

he's the band thats playing while the ship sinks

the song of hope, he forever sings

he taught the sun to shine

now please teach this "son" to shine

how can this world never break

your warm heart in this frigid fucking place?

you're like the river:

always flowing and growing,

never changing; rearranging

how can this world always never take

your solid stance in these turbulent time?

you're like the tree in the burning forest

that never was burned down

and what he said to me was this

"Just love the world that won't love you back"

old man look at my life

i'm nothing like you are

take a look at my life

i'm so very fucking far

from the person i aspire to be

UNBREAKABLE
