Courage

Eric Matthews


there's no fear in the beginning,
no way to go back and design
those major let-downs and winnings, it's all in stone
and can't be fixed not this time

there's an answer more truth than rhyme
it's just looking inward, be not afraid to shine
who am I?

when courage comes to my hands
I'll start building on land
when courage comes to my hands
I'll be done building on sands

the air grows thin and I am spinning
the walls grow close but know it's just my mind
if ever I could use just a place to lay down
I think you know what I mean to say, I'm fine

overstated and worshiped my crimes
it's a shame we can't forget and erase misused time
it's why I'm dying

when courage comes to my hands
I'll start building on land
when courage comes to my hands
I'll be done building on sands
