• maybe it time to make myself known
    and leave the shadow from which I hide
    to show the truths that are left behind
    bringing them one step closer into the light
    but there are those that wish to stop me
    trying to leave me still feeling weak
    breaking me down and not letting me sleep
    yet still I turn to leave the other cheek
    as the wise man one said to those who beat
    while all the while he was just trying to bring peace
    to the world that is often misconstrued
    the message he gave still missed by me and you
    its not black it not white it not grey
    yet the message still brings me here today
    out of the shadows and into the light
    hoping to make you see the sights of life
    thats why i am coming out of my shell
    to get the rid of this hell
    where kids cant play with their fathers
    where mothers weep for the fallen solders
    where messages are left in the cold and stone
    leaving us to deal with the lies that we own
    and leaving all of our pasts back at home
    as we enter the door to this new place yet to behold
    away from my shadow still sitting alone
    the light that surronds me is just not my own
    i wonder why i came out in the first place
    into a world full of love, hurt, and hate
    then i see the boy on the ground
    to weak to even off and run
    from all the evils that this world has begun
    leaving many families without daughters and sons
    hoping one day we all will see true peace
    showing our reverance to others in need
    this is why from the darkness I leave
    even if it means I have to be the one to bring this peace
    to thee.
