In A World So Gray

I don't choose fate I have faith when I aim that I shoot straight Good things have arrived when it's too late You could walk the path of the rest of the pack In the back, or you could find a new way Shit, maybe corny to you, but I believe it I achieve what I'm determined to do And some are destined not to see their opportunities through It's 'cause they're blinded by their fears And don't proceed with the truth And not because they never could, it's because they never did They don't ever take the time to learn the person that they is 'Cause the person that they are is the person that they was And the person that they wanna be Is something they don't wanna work towards On the floor looking for another door, but they're all closed Looking for a sign on the wall for the right way They can hear applause down the hall but the light fades "Ain't no way", too scary that way So, they're staying in their cage waiting for a little change And on the day that it arrives, they're just playing little games Look away from the sky and they wonder why it's all so gray In a world so gray Shit is never pretty you're forgetting how it was When it was okay, how it was one day When it wasn't what you wanted but you loved it anyways You were happy and alive with a smile on your face And the skies in your eyes, and the prize in your heart Then it all just flip flip turned to another page Now you're looking down the barrel of another day Looking at your life thinking what a waste Wonder where it went, why it went away Hide from your face, can't look away Try to evade but to no avail Cry when it's late but there's no one there Life isn't fair, no one cares if I'm fine If I died, not a soul would arrive onsite for a last goodbye But you know it isn't true Hit the bottom that's the first step, now you gotta move And it's hard to get it rolling knowing gravity is holding on Keep pushing, every step is gonna go a long way Til the pain is your gain Your strength is obtained through uncomfortable things Never fear what they say One day, you'll be looking aback and see the whole world watching As you're paving the path of your soul Paving the path of your soul Came a long way, your story is now told Removing the blindfold, you're seeing the light shine This feeling is not cold You filled in the black hole that restrained you It changed you, and nobody would blame you If they knew what you been through and everything you hold inside It took a minute to arrive but it's time to enjoy your life
