What is your reason for getting up in the morning?
What gives breath to your lungs? Makes you take that next step?
What gives you hope to face the monsters in your path?
What gives you purpose? A reason to smile?
Is it the tender touch of the sun upon your skin?
Is it fitting into that little red dress? That pound lost?
Is it the feeling of iron in your hands? That next big pay check?
What would you do if you had a little bit of money? A little passion in you heart?
What difference would you try to make? Who's life would you change?
What makes your heart stop up tight?
Who's hand would you hold? Lips would you kiss, if you had 15 last seconds?
What do you know of this life? What things have you seen, places have you been?
Have you seen any of darkness out there? Felt the sting of pain, grief, regret?
Have you seen where the demons hide?
What do you do to forget? What would you do to remember always?
What emotions would you seek to relive again?
What dangers would you face to have it all again?
How do you get yourself back home?

Staring Up at the Sun
I stood up to the Sun
I told him all of the crazy things that he'd done
He shot back with a blazing brilliance
Melting my wings of wax, powerfully expressing his resilience
Stranded on my little island, I stared up to see
The light of my heart started to tremble, everything I knew fading out of me
I thought of all the people, places and things I've loved
I can't loose myself tonight, me being the one you're thinking of
A million feet, I'll keep climbing
Without weight to hold me down, I'll keep on flying
Love and life within my veins
After all, they say, the best love is the kind that keeps on trying
Even if the best of the fields burns down around me
It won't matter, I no longer have to count the stars to be.
"Seek me out, and ye shall find", if I didn't, I would not be that bold.
Me, I'm tired of simply doing as I'm told
Day in and night out, I've been loosing sleep,
Dreaming of the things humanity could be if we weren't sheep.
If doing wrong didn't feel so right
Then every human wouldn't be in such a plight
I'm a little wiser now, from what you've shown me
It's been a long time coming, but my mind is free
I was a lonely soul, but that's the old me
I'm feeling better since you showed me who I can be.
