Words, from your fingertips
Onto the keyboard they flow
Words stark and bold:
The rage and the cold
You write, the urge comes from inside
To tell, to shout, to have the truth fully exposed.
The tears flood as you toil through countless lonely nights
A lonely fight but you know what you do is right
Every silenced soul begs be brought to light
Though the stories aren’t all sweet or even nice
But you have never intended to be liked.
New epitaphs on unmarked tombs
Each tells a story of its own
Thundering roars echo round the rooms
Where sad ghosts still haunt
Only a handful understand
An icy wall between you and most stands
You wipe the tears from your eyes
Only I know how hard you try
Write now! Write now!
A voice cries out from inside
Be brave! Be True! Give vice no spot to hide
A fire that burns in your racing and angry mind
Refusing to be like those who pretend to be blind
They say you will get used to such things when you grow old
That there will always be buried stories untold
They say you are naïve, silly, insane
They warn of the troubles your writing may bring
They say silence is worth a huge pot of gold.
But you have decided to make a stand
Though loyal readers are less than ten
You scribe down phrases with your pen
Fighting all the way towards the end
For you will never compromise
Your conscience will always be your guide
You do not have to ask the reason why
The warrior in you never dies
Write now! Write now!
A voice cries out from inside
Be brave! Be True! Give vice no spot to hide
A fire that burns in your racing and angry mind
Refusing to be like those who pretend to be blind
But you have decided to make a stand
Though loyal readers are less than ten
You scribe down phrases with your pen
Fighting all the way towards the end
For you will never compromise
Your conscience will always be your guide
You do not have to ask the reason why
The warrior in you never dies
Write now! Write now!
A voice cries out from inside
Be brave! Be True! Give lies no spot to hide
A fire that burns in your racing and angry mind
Giving all you got to get the stories told
I lie awake
Beside the rolling water
Long for the day
When peace will come for all
I still recall
The smile we gave each other
It reminds me of the life we're fighting for
I hear your song
My sister and my brother
It fills my heart
It's with me everywhere
I won't forget
Our promise to each other
I will remember I am here
For you were there
