A bottle of alcohol, empty cigarette packets
Strewn across the damp dirty floor
Moundless heap lies in the bed
Too many words left unsaid
Never moving, never getting up
Never there for you, never hugging you
Never loving you, or helping you
Always faced down into the floor
Amazing that in the face of adversity
You hold on for grim death
Despite the bullying taunts at school
Your a bitch, a liar a whore
The mother who doesnt care
What does it matter anymore?
Swimming against the current
Holding on to the possibilites
The dreams, the hopes,
Of something a little bit better
There are moments behind closed doors
That you dont want to remember anymore
How do you find the strength to carry on?
To find meaning in every single day?
Then there are the beggars in the streets
The children living in slums, the hungry
The poor, all wanting something a bit more
Struggle to survive through these tough times
Promise that everything will be alright
If you can get through this you can get through
Anything at all
Running away from the faces of evil
Walking towards the faces of angels
Sitting and hoping and praying to God
That everything wil be alright today
In a world of violence, of beatings
And many harsh words
Where a man with a gun holds all power
With sparks of ignition and meteroite showers
You worry that things will remain the same
But you know despite everything things will change.
Believe that miracles happen
Because they do, everyday
Just remember that my dear
I promise everything will be okay.
