A gentle look and a warm smile
Can mask the struggle of a trial
We’re quick to offer critiques in lieu of a hand
Tearing down others instead of helping them stand
With nothing to lose, sleeping on the floor
This can’t be the end, there’s gotta be more
Feeding your dreams instead of your stomach
Believing that better days are coming
It’s not easy opting for discomfort
Feeling you’re forgotten under the dirt
Serving others without receiving gratitude
Fighting the demons of sadness & solitude
Behind the scenes, no one sees the prices
You pay daily, silent sacrifices
You do it anyways because deep down you know
It’ll all pay off for a better tomorrow
Just when it seems you’ve hit your lowest
Learn lessons as you remain focused
Rise to your potential from rock bottom
Even when you think you’ve been forgotten
