Through the Fire

Right through the fire, to the limit to the wall,

We’ve seen these things; yes I know we've seen them all,

Things that make men drop down to their knees and crawl,

Things that leave us empty, and make us all want to fall,

But my friends we must push on, blaze ourselves a path,

The further we go, the more time we'll have to laugh,

And to be with those who've left us, those who've seen their time,

Do not worry, for this is only part of god's grand design,

Not a crime, may feel as though, but in heaven now they shine,

Watching over us, making sure that for us everything is fine,

And I know that when everything is said and done down here,

That we'll finally see the grand plan and all will be so clear,

Just take my hand and walk with me to the limit, through the fire

The same flames that burn us are the ones that fuel desire.







Now unscathed we emerge from the punishing flames of time,

My mind my only weapon, and the ammunition is my rhymes,

We’ve found our final sanctuary, our home away from home,

If I never make it back, please tell people what I’ve shown,

And I can't believe how far we've come, how close we've grown,

I’m thankful for every friend I make, even those enemies made,

For I learn from every person I’m around as I try to make the grade,

And the time we spend smiling only show's how far we've come,

Letting go of depression, and turning to face the rising sun,

It takes strength to be happy, in this world we live in today,

So give thanks up to the sky, no matter how dark or how gray,

I offer you a chance to lay your burdens at the door and step inside,

Come with me lay your worries to rest and in me you can confide,

There’s no reason for us to run and there’s no more need to hide,

It’s time to make a choice and it’s up to you, but it’s time to decide.







Turn back now and only, look and remember from where you came,

And never give up; hold your head up there’s no reason for shame,

We learn from mistakes and gain our knowledge from experience,

From all the times we laugh to those so damn frighteningly serious,

On the surface we’re calm and collected, but pain is never deflected,

And no matter what some say, only we know how we’re affected,

But that’s what makes us individuals; picture this as your visual,

A world where everyone was linked and our brains were digital,

There’d be no new creations, no creative artist to leave us inspired,

Nothing to drive us on till we grow old and from the game retire,

So the differences we all have must remain to divide us apart,

Through the fire we will go with the strenght in our hearts.
