w a i t f o r s p r i n g

can't wait for spring,
i need my clear blue winter sky
can't wait for spring,
i need the one to say hi
but i have no control,
of the heart of another one

can't hope to bring,
a season before its time to come
can't hope to bring,
a reason for me not to run
but i can't be twice a fool,
to fall again before love's blinding sun

reach out and touch
touch the hand of thee
so far and so free
oh why am i weak when i'm being me?

can't need to sing,
the melodies of the first broken man
can't need to sing,
the memories of the unforgiven land
so i'm gonna be cool
since i have visited this heartland before

reach out and touch
touch the hand of thee
so far and so free
oh why am i weak when i'm being me?

f l y

am i good enough
for the ones around me
am i a good laugh
pretending to be free

did dead poets suffer
the same burden of loneliness
did dead poets hunger
of surviving this foolishness

the past had been unkind
been teaching me the lies
been haunting me to find
things in me to despise

but pain has a way of waking
the sleeping truth hidden inside
my heart has been bleeding
enough tears to cleanse my pride

i have come full circle
realizing the truth beneath the lie
need to break the cycle
of not leaving the wall when i'm a fly
