Open your eyes and focus on the battle ahead.
Stand upright.
We look forward and find our own way.
but we are afraid to follow in the footsteps of old.
And I stop for a while and stare.
then i blink and it's gone.
and to think that i used to care.
but now it's all gone wrong.
Open the door and look in. It's so empty and bare
Step inside.
Then turn on the light and sit down.
and think of the time that's gone by, and the hours of despair.
