	I had built up all of my hopes and all of my plans
	Only to have them stand and cast shadows of humiliation
	Days would pass shadows would remain
	A reminder of all of my dreams
	I had to live humbled with
	The disappointment of what never came to be
	I vow from this day forward
	My grieving will be brief
	That I will continue to give to this world
	Knowing I may never receive
	I had come so far
	Before being stripped and sent back to the start
	It felt as though the air was tearing me apart
	A hybrid of seasons had come
	It swept across the land
	It spared the lives of everyone else
	While it destroyed everything
	I had done
	The frost came in the night
	My progress immortalized
	All that I had left undone
	Would be forever, frozen in time
	I became known for this curse
	It happened throughout my life
	It needed to continue to occur
	In order to keep my legacy alive
	Before I know my time had arrived
	It was already gone
	Cursing the cold winds of change
	My moment of peace was just the eye of the storm
	The will to live is easy
	You can exist without a care
	The will to die shows it meant so much
	That you couldn’t have it - and you couldn’t go on living without it
	The will to give makes the best of nothing
	It is a philosophy
	That states you will continue to give to this world
	Knowing you may never receive.
	Satisfaction will come and in time it will leave us unsatisfied
	As uncertainty returns
	Bringing back the excitement to our lives
	We can only enjoy so much stimulation
	Before we stop responding and become despondent again.
	I had built up all of my hopes and all of my plans
	Only to have them stand and cast shadows of humiliation
	Days would pass shadows would remain
	A reminder of all of my dreams
	I had to live humbled with
	The disappointment of what never came to be
	Those shadows still remain as landmarks of failed attempts
	In their shade
	I work away at building a tower of character
	One day it will be revealed and it will stand for man years
	Casting a shadow of its own and striking fear in hearts - as will
	I It is the discomfort that sets us apart
	That wakes us up, that puts us to sleep
	It is our pathetic moments
	Which make us desire to be great
	It is the starving itself
	That makes us hungry to want more
	Over time as you learn to fall
	You’ll rise to your feet faster than the time before
	Satisfaction is a peak on the verge of decline
	It will be over in the blink of an eye
	Take your time to feel every moment
	A gradual climb will let you enjoy it
	For your life is measured
	By the degree of dynamic from your life to your death
	The wait is long and the wait goes on
	But it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive
	Through the crests and troughs
	I will have seen both sides
	By the Pursuit of the
	Sun and the
	Allure of the
	Earth I will have earned and spent my life
	The will to give
	There is no destination
	There is only the journey

	I had built up all of my hopes and all of my plans
	Only to have them stand and cast shadows of humiliation
	Days would pass shadows would remain
	A reminder of all of my dreams
	I had to live humbled with
	The disappointment of what never came to be
	I vow from this day forward
	My grieving will be brief
	That I will continue to give to this world
