  To hold on.
"I am finding more and more reasons
To wait for what's in store
And to let go of what's been before,
'Cause until I let my doubts fall,
They won't be the only thing that crashes
To the floor.
I am finding more and more reasons
To hold on.
I tried not to be selfish.
I tried to reconcile with my soul,
But the One and Only saved me from myself,
And now, more than ever, I'm finding
More and more reasons
To hold on.
The past will haunt you 'till you die,
But only if you let it.
It is easy to remember pain
And to forget just what was good.
Lying in bed, wearing the ceiling down with stare.
Candle lit.
You'll find yourself in a world of rain
With no way to return.
Your past will haunt you 'till you die,
But only if you let it
I'm finding more and more reasons
To hold on.
Forgotten. Forgotten.
I could live without that word,
Because that's all that's survived
In this world.
Forgotten. Forgotten.
Things will never be remembered
The way they were,
Because that's the mentality
Of this population.
But I will uphold the old tradition
Of remembering that which was good,
Because until the rest of this
Confused population focuses on more than the pain,
I will hold on,
Because now, more than ever,
I'm finding more and more reasons
To hold on.
I'm waiting for what's in store.
I'm letting go of what's been before.
I'm reconciling with my soul no more.
The ceiling is no longer being worn.
I'm leaving 'forgotten' on the shelf in the store.
And now, more than ever,
I'm finding more and more reasons
To hold on.

  the solo flight

Couldn't days always be just like this,

With a cloudless sky and such peaceful bliss?

Sometimes I could fly solo

Straight back to tomorrow's yesterday

Don't get what I mean?

Well, I'll leave it just for me to know then,

Because I only need two wings

For a solo flight back to tomorrow's yesturday.

What a beautiful day

To fly solo.
