let them down


well i think there was a time when i
had the hope enough to wonder why
we have to battle every day
some to leave, some to stay

but now i let my wishes die
like santa claus and learning to fly
we aren’t worthy of our dreams
or reality

so let me twist the arm of fate
i’m always the one to wait
they always trust i will remain
silent in sunlight, supportive in rain

i’ve made promises that i might break
even the earth has been known to quake
but how do i go about letting them down
when they call – i’m always around

so please take me away
or someone please ask me to stay
i need a reason to think that i
deserve much more than being passed by

but i want to let them down….
