STAND BY

 

Even when you're lost in the darkness,

Even when you're drowning in the sea,

Don't worry my dear,

Don't panic.

Just it it handle you.

Don’t conceal it.

Keep feeling it.

Wear it up on your sleeve,

Because life finds way.

So, just let it handle you.

 

Not all who wander are lost.

Not all who hide are wrong.

Don’t stop till it hurts you,

If it does, it’ll heal you too.

 

Go ahead, small steps on the way.

Up, up and way.

Floating in the air,

Feel the wind beneath your wings.

So let go,

Let it handle you.

 

There it goes,

The feeling of being deranged.

You’re free,

But, still a little crazed.

 

A little mad,

A little sane.

Now, you’re steady,

Keep flying, be ready.

 

For the ones with the most kindest hearts

have felt the most pain.

For the ones with the most beautiful eyes

Have shed the most tears.

 

I thank you,

And I hope in the years yet to come,

The world would be a better place.
