QUIT


I refuse to quit, I won't back down
Throughout my life, I have found
I must keep trying, I can't give up
My will remains strong, is that enough?

I strive to be, a lasting name
One remembered for not being the same
So here I stand, my head held high,
I walk this road on which some die

I
Look to the stars to guide by way
When I am lost, I get down and pray
Take me to where I'm meant to be
Allow me to fulfill my destiny

Beneath my wings, be my wind
When I've done wrong, forgive my sin
There's no going back to change the past
The future is coming, perhaps too fast

I won't back down, I'll face it head on
The person I was, is now dead and gone
It's not by choice, but strictly fate
This is who I am, there's no escape

I sit and ponder, while sitting outside,
Has the person I was finally died?
I stare at the ground and let out a tear
The futures unknown, it's filled me with fear

My plans were buried, along with myself
Pictures of friends hide on my shelf
I want it all back, but I know it is gone
It's time go accept it, finally move on

I can only go forward from this point on,
As of now, who I once was, is gone
