Sunlight and Shadows


Drive

Whatever you want, you want it so badly

You pour in your heart so deeply, completely

You hold on so tight, there is no room to breathe

And keep your eyes shut so you can believe

Whatever you want, you will not let go

Or step back or look up or even walk slow

Instead you dive in head first off the brink

Need only to feel, never stopping to think

Just look through that feeling, it colors your world

A fantasy glamorized, glittered, and pearled

Until life steals the rose glasses away

Then every color that you see is gray

Whatever you want, you better be sure

For fancies fly quickly and failures endure

But do not let go of hope that is real

For faith lives beyond whatever you feel
