Don't Lose Sight

It's surely ok to cry to the heavens for strength
When the world lays it's unfair hands upon you
It's ok to fall to your knees with unbelievable grief
Just don't lose sight of our memories whatever you do...

It's ok to bow your head in hopes of a better path
One that leads you directly to my door
It's ok to wish that our tomorrow's will somehow end
Just don't lose sight of the reasons we're fighting for...

It is ok to build your walls enclosed with only safe ways
To hide yourself from the pain you've carried for years
Make it high enough to shelter your breaking heart
Just don't lose sight of the love that draws you here...

It's ok to fall, so hard, when there's very little light
From the darkness that surrounds your entire view
I know your eyes can't see beyond present fear you hold
Just don't lose sight of those loved ones you so matter to...

It's ok to immerse yourself into intense lonely nights
And, lie against restless thoughts every hour through
I know misery floods the moments in the extreme silence there
Just don't lose sight that I am lying awake, too...

It's ok to drown yourself in anger for what the world has done
Just take me with you, My Girl, when you hopelessly run
I know the distance ahead just never seems to be close enough
Just don't lose sight of my promises and how much you are loved...
