Ricochet
How do you feel when you think there’s just no hope
And you are in a total mess, you can’t just cope
All heads turn towards you with accusation
While you hang up yours in failure and desperation
When the truth you believed becomes only a lie
When everything around you wants to make you cry
When a best friend you believed became a foe
And let you down, down so low
When the warmest of the hearts turned into ice
When you feel you just can’t stand the raging skies
You find yourself lost in the sea of despair
With no one to hold your hand or answer your prayer
When the waves of sorrow come crashing upon you
The chances of your survival are alarmingly few
When you’re thrown into the dungeons of pain
That’s certain to drive you totally insane
Then just stand up to it, show your might,
Show the world you were absolutely right
Don’t be a coward, get forward with courage
You don’t need anyone’s support or any patronage
Lift up your head; be proud of your failure
Prove the contrary to everyone’s censure
Bring up the truth before the lie
Stand up to those who made you cry
To counter the stoned hearts, turn yours into ice
Be prepared to brave the tempest of the skies
Be a lone ranger, find your destiny
And give back people a share of their profiny
Stand up to the waves and endure the pain
You efforts shall then, never go in vain
Wake up! Fill in some unbeatable courage
For you are the captain of your life’s voyage..
