Poems and Songs (the beginning)

93-Road Be Long

When suddenly your friends leave and you see unfamiliar faces
Those you've grown to love are now in a million different places
Tell me, who doesn't miss their friends at all?

You're surrounded by strangers and you're left all alone
You find it awkward and no matter what you just can't feel at home

But soon enough, your spirits will be lifted up
To build your confidence and prepare you for the tough

Because the road's gonna be long

They said "Don't ever think you're here alone,
We'll all be there for you no matter what.
When your roots grow, no matter how hard the wind blows,
You'll never fall, like how you'll never give up.
We'll stand by you and watch you as you grow wings,
We'll make them strong and teach you how to fly.
When you set out, don't forget all of these things,
Deep roots, strong wings, and you can touch the sky."

Though the road will be long

Those memories from the past, they're still there, never forgotten
Along the way, you'll make mistakes, but that's just how you learn
Your experience deepens your roots, they'll hold you upright

With the support from everyone, our wings will just grow stronger
They'll take us to great heights and we'll touch the skies together

Trials and tribulations, we will see them through
With passion in our hearts, we know what to do

We're not afraid the road be long

The initial fear we had is long gone now,
Because our passion drives us to strive for the best.
It's like a fire in our heart that never burns out,
We chase our dreams with spirit and zest.
The adrenaline will never really leave us,
It'll just fuel us to go on and never stop.
The spirit will never die, it'll never turn to dust,
We'll stand tall and nothing will make us flop.

And when we have reached our great heights,
It's time for us to lead the way for others
When they're in the dark, we'll be their guiding lights,
And the cycle will carry on,
Never faded, never gone

We'll say "Don't ever think you're here alone,
We'll all be there for you no matter what.
Don't be worried about mistakes, treat them like stepping stones,
In the long run, they'll help you like they did to us.
Chase your dreams with passion and you'll find them,
One day you'll be lying amongst the stars.
Treasure every teacher, every friend,
Remember your values and they'll take you far.

And though the road be long
Trust me, the road is long
You just need to stay strong
And always remember this song

[A/N]: A song I wrote to the tune of Amnesia by 5SOS for my new school's orientation concert! It's themed around "Deep Roots, Strong Wings" and Passionate, one of the school values.
