I would be lying, if I said I loved everything here
The crime, the poverty, the housing crisis
But I am aware of the way things will stay, and continue to be
I wonder how easy it would be to rip the roots I thought ran deep
But thinking of a new life, in a new world beyond my own
It's enticing, scary to say the least.
But when i hesitate
It isn't because I don't want to
It's simply because of invisible chains that bind me
The least of which chain my neck, my arms, and my legs
It's scary to think of what could be, you know
I'm happy, and very much so
But to leave everything I knew behind, for a promise of a better tomorrow
The choice is something I can't make lightly
It's something that would tear rifts and create new possibilities
I would wait for you, in a thousand lifetimes
But I cannot know all the future holds in one.
So please, know that I care
Know that I'm listening close
To be with you, it's what I'm craving the most.
