I'VE BEEN THERE TOO

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream. “Paulo Coelho

pain consumes your soul
i can see it in your eyes
you can’t seem to move on
it’s hard for you to realize
that like anybody else
you have your own share
of life’s tedious battles
while no one seems to care

the sea of captivity
drowns your sanity
the voices of guilt
disrupts your tranquility
darkness overwhelms
the light within your heart
your life, your world
slowly falls apart

i've been there too
i know how it feels
i've been there too
the agony is real

hope springs from acceptance
forgiveness renews our soul
you can still change things
if you'll realize your role
it’s really hard I know
coz I’ve been there too
but you can change your course
if you know just what to do

leave the past behind
don't  waste your precious time
the pain’s just a passing
quitting now will be a crime
change your perspective
look at the brighter side
you can still fight back
and heal your wounded pride

i've been there too
there’s still a way out
i've been there too
just conquer your doubts

i've been there too
someone’s out there
i've been there too
someone’s saying a prayer
