gather strength

lift up your head
make light the load
gather strength from those you hold close
construct every tower, every wall
built from reoccurring dreams
life is what we chose to make
yesterday's reality

in a flash, it all reigns down
thundering, as it hits the ground
run for cover--it may seem
neverending vanity
change your ways, repent you fool
rusted like a left out tool
