People always live a thousand lives within one
Like me when I feel I am against the wall
I tell to myself “I should’ve won”
But life was stronger and made me fall
A thousand lives should’ve taught me to win the fight
A thousand ways to find the path
For I have lost my brightest light
Cutting loose my boundless wrath
A thousand people, told me once
That it is in me to win the match
Not finding guts, I felt a dunce
Now my heart needs an escape hatch
No matter what, I shall get up
Find the way once thought I lost
Will a thousand hands help me stand
And If I don’t, what will be the cost?
Today I speak about my loss
I haven’t spoken yet about my love
That sweetest honey I came across
The one which meeting was my highest score
I had to wait a thousand lives
To finally see this magnificent gal
Fine and perfect as the honey from a thousand hives
The one that took me from that wall
She took that pain and helped me stand
Now I feel there is a chance
To fight once more, now I feel I can
To smile and laugh, or even dance
Maybe this is why I couldn’t find
The strength needed to find myself
To have some peace in heart and mind
No longer dammed to live in hell
A thousand lines I could’ve written
About a life I once felt it gone
The lion within now is a kitten
Now in her arms, I feel like home.
