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.
