The New Chapter

Running through the hourglass of time

Another day passes by

Turning into a sleepless night

Yearning for something I don't know

Tension inside me still grows

Until the new chapter unfolds

Seems no matter how hard you try

The thorn still burns in your side

Throughout this test that we call life

We win and lose everyday

It's like you've heard the Christians say:

"The Lord giveth and taketh away"

Breaking the walls surrounding me

Rising with integrity

Into a new supremacy

Forging dreams into reality

Reaching high into the stars

Beyond what once seemed too far

With the force that lives within

The new chapter shall begin

No scars, no wounds too deep to hide

Yet feeling hollow deep inside

As if something there has died

The restless heart of a child

That keeps visions, dreams alive

Still dwells waiting inside
