Dialogue: borrowed.

"I knew the times would come

And now the times have landed

With sting and abrasion"

"And frankly, I did not plan

On getting hurt today"

"Pain is the invitation to surrender all"

"I'm okay with

Yeah, I'm okay with

Whatever happens"

"Write a book about the times that you've held your head

In your hands and you've cried

For poverty to end"

"The less I have

The less I lack"

"I'm in a constant freefall

When I'm following you"

"Worry not, love

How far you could fall"

"I know for sure I'm headed straight for the edge

'Cause that's just where you are"

"Canvas clean

Art unseen

New and glorious start"

"Ready to turn back

I still got far to go"

"A risk so great

A feel so real

Moving closer to what you really feel

Destination so unsure

You're not alone"

"My destination mind

Fights my identity"

"Tell me who I am

'Cause I'm too close to see

Past the imperfections

Do you see more to me?"

"You gave me a name

I could never gain

With even my college try"

"The poet is stuck in the mud

And the dreamer is finding his way home from the stars

And the visionary's watching his feet

'Cause the sentimental fool is numb again"

"Feeling cold, alone and worn

Is not a way for anyone to be

But this is me"

"I'll never hold a picture of the whole horizon in my view"

"Blank page, clean slate

New beginnings, paths to create"

"Feeling strong on my own two feet

So why am I feeling suddenly weak"

"Life is all just all

Just a bunch of work

Nothing more than a climbing fall"

"It's not by work you find your escape

But in your defeat when you seek his face"

"Sometimes this escape feels like a cage"

"This season of waiting is starting to get old"

"I want to live for you

The rhythm of your presence

Beats steady in my soul"

"Whether or not it's meant to be

Keep your faith and tenacity"

"You reach for the deepest hope in me

And call out for the things of eternity"

"Shallow capacity

Is bearing all I see

And I know

It's disease

It's loss, it's death

Knocking at my door

I click these thoughts

To something else

Something more"

"Fast-forward to the golden years

A smaller pride and a bigger fear

But still no way are we done yet"

"Although there is reason to fear

The sky will never clear

I can't think of a time when you haven't been there for me"

"Whether I'm riding high or feeling low

These are the two best prayers I know

Help me

And thank you"

"It takes more than courage

To step out in the aisle

Because I waited for a feeling

I didn't read the sign

Find me"

"You shape me like a story

You sing me like a song

But lately to be honest

I'm too tired to sing along"

"Just now I've reached the end of my line

Just now I'm too tired to keep on trying"

"I don't believe you brought me this far to give up

So every day I keep on fighting for it"

"Lord, don't let these wings forget how to fly"

"And while the thrills are fading

The joy is in the waiting

Somewhere in the grand design

It's good to be unsatisfied"

"The way it used to all make sense

Now is far away, cryptic and in riddles"

"I'm fearful of missing the point of it all"

"Don't be so scared

You're doing fine

Don't be so hurried

You're next in line

Don't be so worried

You'll be alright"

"I don't want to lie in fear

Help me remember clear

There's never been a time

When you haven't come through for me"

"Hey, if I'm to be sincere

I believe you're close to me

But still I miss you here"

"Someday I'm gonna break free

Leave it all behind me

I'll be all I was meant to be"

"I can hear the questions

With answers that breed doubt

The spiritual poison of hecklers and demons

Who whisper in corners, hoping for a sell-out"

"Detached harmonies

All the airwaves scream dissonance"

"Call out

Trying desperately to hear a sound

But there's no word"

"It's not that I don't trust you
I do

But I don't trust myself to hear from you"

"I hear I'm going down

I'm headed for the ground

I hear I should panic

I should be afraid

I hear through all the noise

A still and steady voice

Say 'wait'"

"If I could

Then I would

Run across the sea

To hear you speak to me"

"I've lost all my earthly optimism

That it's all gonna be alright

That the good will win this fight"

"I'm full of hardened misunderstandings

And they filter truth to me"

"Get out

All the lies that try to creep around

Devouring truth"

"Stripped of my filters maybe

I could be learning"

"I lift my hands in a resurrender

Waiting on you to put this together"

"In this mess I'm just one of the pieces

I can't put this together but you can"

"You make up for the faith I lack"

"When setbacks and failures and upset plans

Test my faith and leave me with empty hands

Are you not the closest when it's hardest to stand

I know that you will finish what you began

And these broken parts you redeem

Become the song that I can sing"

"I won't take advice from cynics

I won't listen to the word of fools

Sure, everyone has their own take

On what I should do

But I will follow your voice"

"Sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm faithful

Or a fool to believe

You're still leading me"

"If there's nothing more I can do

Can I just sit here with you?"

"I know it's gonna be a hard day

And you won't come out of this the same

But my love will be your strength for tonight"

"You're gonna find

You're gonna find it

You're gonna find the strength"

"Help me to hear your voice

Above all the other noise"

"Hope is rising

It's a sunrise for the end

Hope is rising

And it's breathing for me again"

"You're not alone

Take a chance

Take my hand

We'll find the way to Neverland

Where all your childhood dreams come true"

"Soon every work will find its worth"

"They say that time heals all wounds

But this scar will become a small part of you

But there will come a day

When I'll see your smile

It'll be deeper and stronger

And I will know why"

"I always heard you loved me

But I think I know it now

Is that the reason why you brought me here?"

"Oh, I really am my own worst enemy

Please don't let me get the better of me"

"You wouldn't walk out on this tragedy

Never give up on your Iliad"

"I'm here to testify

That it's been an amazing ride

With you

And I have never walked alone"

"Life has no conflict

For those who do belong"

"Somehow my story is a part of your plan

Here I am"

"I will be a fool for you

All because you ask me to

A simpleton who's seemingly naive"

"The very thing I always feared would be the death of me

Was a way to come alive"

"Everyone's supposed to carry on"

"Wouldn't read the ending if I could

I'm always coming back for more"

"Come tomorrow, no one knows

But when everything unfolds

The hero wins"

"It's alright, it's okay

If I lose today

In the end I know you win"

"In the end it is well

After storms and beatings"

"That's more like it happened
For me and you

We're a story in the making"

"Consider the story isn't over"
