FORTITUDE
Everytime something breaks our heart
everytime we're torn apart
there's a voice that keeps us standing
and when the world comes crashing down
when we're midair dumbfound
we end upon a stable landing.
The times when we fall short
of who we are and wanna be
the times we look but we don't see
what seems like just the end
turns out to be a road bend.
when we get so tired of failing
we don't give up but we're not trying
we still care but not enough
can't let it get the best of us.
We're running in vicious circles
which get just bigger and bigger
every passing day seems
a battle fought,
truth and love against blood and cash.
Ghastly revelations about
this world we barely know
yet dare to call our own
steer our focus and shake our faith
we hold each other's hand
and make an effort to understand.
If we're alone, we're all alone together
and whether or not we make it through
every adversity, every woe
what matters is fortitude
that is all we owe.
