Where do we go?...

Where do we go?

Years of building ourselves up. 
Years of finding inspirations and motivations
Just to be able to feel proud.

Where do we go?

Years of looking in the mirror 
Smiling, frowning,
Through disappointments and glory.

Where do we go?












When someone says
It’s not you
This is not who you were.

Where did you go?

Where did we go?
How did we get so lost?
Who is that in the mirror?
Who is that inside us?

Is it the old us?
Is it the new us?
Who was us!

How did we get here
That we cannot recall 
What we ever were?

Where do we go from here
To find that person we once were?
Who were we?

Maybe this is who we always were
And the world just saw
Who we were pretending to be.

Are we that good an actor 
That the whole world was fooled?
Or somewhere, somehow
That us just got lost.

Where do we begin
To find the used to be us?
Where did we stop being us?
Why did we stop being that us?
Should we go back?
Back to where?

Where did this start?
Where did we ever go?
Where do we go now?...

HOW DO YOU FIND THE STRENGTH?

Fantasies are not dreams.
Fantasies are a wish
to fulfill those dreams.

When your whole world
starts falling apart,
how do you find the strength
to hold yourself together?

How do you find the strength
to keep up with your work
when in your head
is the image of the latest guitar?

No string is easy to stretch,
no drum is easy to beat,
no music is easy to play
and no math is easy to enjoy...

How do you find the strength
to study science
when volcanoes are erupting
on the HBO at 9PM?

How do you find the strength
to fit in the words from the dictionary
when Harry Potter spells
are all over in your head?

How do you find the strength
to endure Shakespeare
when Kristen Stewart's having a date
with super hot Robert Pattinson?!

Keep your mind on your goal,
keep your head in the game,
keep your heart in your books
and keep your life under black ink.

In theory, all is well;
in theory, it's a lot of fun;
in theory, it's a matter of determination;
in practicality, it's easier said than done!

It's a quandary,
an unanswerable question,
a lava-loaded volcano,
a sinking RMS Titanic.

When we do what we can,
God will do what we can't.

Half the promise is done
now Lord, it's your turn...
