as I gaze upon this battle scared
land
all I see is red sand
bodies to the left and right
there lives were lost in a great
fight
sacrifice
as this cross swings back and forth on my
chest
as I watch the cross sway back and forth
I remember
all the memories
I have had
this cross represents me
this cross represents you
this cross represents everything.
They're all around
They never go anywhere
They let you know that they are there.
Even though you don't know they're there.
Your spirits will never let you get hurt
Even if they're as old as dirt.
Woe is to the sad man!
Anguish to the guilty and hunted!
Grief to the lost souls.
Rest to those who willingly go.
A mass of cogs clicking and turning.
Slowly grinding to a halt.
It could be any sound to any person.
It could be nirvana to the holy and faithful.
It could be, why--whatever their hearts desire.
For those who wait for it never have it.
Those that wish for it wait in vain.
But to those that do not believe, do not care?
They are thoe that see it, hear it, taste it.
They are the ones that seek out emotion,
For them, those that do not deserve it.
For me it is simple, but one question.
I am the only one to ask it for an answer.
I ask whether it was meant to be?

I am extraordinary and fierce
I wonder about animals
I hear ocean everywhere
I see my monster in the world
I want a puppy
I am extraordinary and fierce
I pretend laugh
I feel kisses on my cheek
I touch the top of the world
I worry about my grandma
I cry when I am sad
I am extraordinary and fierce
I understand I am not perfect
I say that I know I am not
I dream that I was
I try to get good grades
I hope to go to the fair
I am extraordinary and fierce.
I am fun and friendly
I wonder how long I'll live
I hear dogs barking
I see cloud animals
I want to cry
I am fun and friendly
I pretend to be my mom when I babysit
I feel like screaming
I touch unicorns
I worry about my mom
I cry because I can't see my dad
I am fun and friendly
I understand nothing
I say yesterday is history and tomorrow is mystery
I dream about love
I try hard in school
I hope I will see my dad soon
I miss my dog Bull
I am fun and friendly.
Friends are always there,
Friends will be by your side when you need them the most.
Friends give support,
Friends back you up.
Friends are someone special.
Friends will always care.
Friends are cool.
Friends are sweet.
Friends are something you need.

Life has lessons,
Life has responsibility.
But either way,
You have to follow through.
Life can be tough,
Life can be disappointing.
But we all have things that are
Important.
Things that we cherish.
This is why we go through life.
Life is supposed to teach,
Life is supposed to be a challenge.
But either way,
We have to follow through.

Scale the wall. Fear is just an emotion.
Fear is nothing to be scared of.
Scale the wall.
Fear is something
everyone has in common.
Fear is ignorance
dressed in its Sunday best.
Scale the wall.
Fear is the absence of truth
and compassion.
Fear is text box
something you can never get rid of
Scale the wall.
Fear is something you can have control over
managed by faith and not sight,
conquered by grace.
Hope lies on the other side
ready to embrace and support
Life's eternal goodness.

Anyone, can you hear me?
I have been waiting for you to tell me,
Yes, I do.
But I know all you have done is
put it off.
I just need to know
if you can hear me.
And all this time
I thought I just needed you,
but all I needed
was
you.
