Realization

Sometimes we forget about the important things They seem to get drowned out by our busy lives Living hand to mouth at times No time to stop and reason why, think why Sometimes it takes a hard knock to wake up to the real life Watch the penny drop make us stop and reevaluate our lives Take a step back inside, stop to sigh Take some time to just enjoy life, take the time to notice what's outside of me Notice beauty that takes my breath away Think about what makes me who I want to be Do we really need it all Is it about the latest thing It puts our focus to the test, see what makes us different from the rest Take some time to just enjoy life, take the time to notice what's outside of me Notice beauty that takes my breath away Think about what makes me who I want to be Just like the timeless wind blowing through the trees My heart's the softest drum whispering on the breeze I gaze into the void wondering why my thoughts seem loud Drowning out the silence of the ever-growing crowd Speak to me in words unspoken, shout it out above the trees Speak to me with silence broken, share with me the life you lead You sigh a sigh so deep that the ocean moves in waves Washing up on the shore with every breath that you take Waiting for time to lift a voice with words that sound so right Over the silence bringing comfort to your tortured mind Speak to me in words unspoken, shout it out above the trees Speak to me with silence broken, share with me the life you lead I strain to listen through the darkness of the night Casting out unspoken feelings weighing on my mind I know you're out there somewhere Drifting, waiting, saving your secrets till the perfect day Speak to me in words unspoken, shout it out above the trees Speak to me with silence broken, share with me the life you lead Place me in the depths of your dreams Close the distance that's between us Give me a chance to know you
