1:35 PM / 25 March

A little something I wrote. It's a song, not a poem. Almost feels like one though.

For You

I, look up into the sky
As I, sit here and wonder why
Did this world pass us by
Can't you see the tears
Flowing from our eyes

My life, living in disguise
As I, sit here and wonder why
What happened to yesterday
Will we stay as one
Will it be ok

Will we inherit all
The sins of a generation
Will we be forced
To save a decaying nation

For you

But as time moves on
We'll give hope a chance
Maybe we'll live to have
Our very last dance

But as hope goes on
And time wears thin
Can we stay for long
And try to bury their sins

For you

She's, with a tear in her eyes
As she, sits there and wonders why
Was there a point to all of this
What did we do
To deserve this poisoned kiss

If we're left alone
With all your problems
Can we save this ship
From your destruction

Will we inherit all
The sins of your generation
What must be done
To save a decaying nation

For you

But as time moves on
We'll give hope a chance
Maybe We'll live to have
Our very last dance

But as hope goes on
And time wears thin
Can we stay for long
And try to bury their sins

For you

So in this last declaration
I'll make my stand
Just for you
This is our last salvation
Our hopes now rest
In our nation of youth
