In life and love,

As we trot and leap,

Are times that stretch the mind of man,

Through fear and courage,

Adrenaline surges,

But when it falls what's left's a shell,

The hustle and bustle,

Can I take any more,

Seems hard and rough,

To stick around.

So tired and worn,

But my soul goes on,

Is life a brute,

That steals my song,

As this day dawn breaks,

I rise again,

To knead and row,

Through this darkened sea.
