Favorite Quote:
“...we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honour heroes after they've died. They're like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honour the Pharaohs. Only instead of being made out of stone, they're made out of the memories people have of you. That's why your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of with stone.” - RJ Palacio


V1

I swear he's up there.

Maybe he can't here me.

But I've been praying in all my dreams. 

I'm trying to be a rebel.

I'm much to sentimental.

I won't judge anything you've done. 

I think too much.

I know life sucks.

But I guess I'll be ok,

One day.

 

Chorus:

Somewhere in a hole I've been hiding.

Afraid that the sun would be blinding.

But if you take my hand...

Could you lead me through this burning land.

 

V2:

When you're stuck in a shell,

It's unbelievable.

I can tell you right now,

You won't be good in a crowd,

But if you really believe.

That you've got something to say.

Then ok.

 

Chorus: 
Somewhere in a hole I've been hiding.

Afraid that the sun would be blinding.

If you take my hand,

Could you lead me through this burning land?

 

I wasted too much time fighting.

And now the fire inside is burning.

Is it too late to save me?

Could you help me get free?

 

Bridge:

And I hope that,

With all this time that's past,

It's not too late.

I understand now.

I wanna crawl out of the ground.

And say, I'm ok.

 

Chorus: 

Someone where in a hole I've been hiding.

Afraid that the sun would be blinding.

But if you take my hand,

Could you lead me through this burning land?

 

I wasted too much time fighting.
And now the fire inside is burning.
Is it too late to save me?
Could you help me get free?

 

Could you lead me through...

This burning land.


The author's comments:

When life get's hard. And it does. It's really hard to believe in something. Or someone. My song is about someone taking initiative in their life and deciding to step out of the dark. Whether it be God, family, or friends there's always someone watching out for you. Sometimes you just have to look a little harder.
