*** written for a contest...****
When I close my eyes
there starts the cries
the cries of pain
that were in vain
The cries of the lost
with every cost
the cries of my loved ones
so many lost from the guns
The cries of my hope
hanging by a rope...
When I close my eyes
There I see the lies
the lies I've told
some truth they hold
the lies I've heard
no truth to any word
The lies I've feared
left my head yet to be cleared
The lies that changed my life
the lies that can be forgot with a knife.....
When I close my eyes
There lays my prize
The prize I will win
even if it is a sin
The prize I will strive for
thats what I seek nothing more
The prize of freedom that awaits
that lies behind those golden gates
The prize I can not get lays ahead
waiting there until I'm dead.....
When I close my eyes
I want to see the skies
The skies that are so blue
that will always be true
The skies I've dreamed of
are just a few feet above
The skies of beauty and grace
are definatley worth the chase
The skies that I want to see
is only to happen when I'm free...
When I close my eyes
all thats left of my dream dies
The dream of reaching my prize
that lays beneath the skies
The dream of being free
and finally being able to see
The dream of love
just floating above
The dream of my loved ones
that were lost from the guns
The dream of what would have been
that is still waiting to begin...
Thats what I see when I close my eyes
now above I will rise.....
