Everyone is handed a secret life
Some may be way and some maybe hard
But everyone has the chance to be bright
That is where our individual’s lives break
The broken bits that you cannot tie
But we can get closer; we surely can

For our lives our empty like a tin can
That begins to fill all thought our life
We cannot choke ourselves with a small tie
And yet our lives aren’t always free; but hard
The task in our life is to just take a break
And to breathe in the sun fumes; charming and bright

Every child has the potential to be bright
When someone says they can’t; we know they can
Though something in the process may shockingly break
That is exactly what we call life
Some expect it to never be this hard
But life can never be a smooth musical tie

Some expect life to be an even tie
Where birds are chirping and the sun is bright
People are smiling and looks are never hard
And the only answer is yes you can
They wake up every morning loving life
And their hearts can never quiver or break

Let me be the one to interrupt and break
This fantasy world with no knots or ties
People need to realize this is life
This is no TV. show; where stars are bright
So why are we here? To prove that we can
To move away the rocks; heavy and hard

So let the concrete thought in your might set hard
Let the perfectionist grasp easily break
But don’t waste your whole life sitting on the can
Find the middle of the rope where it meets and ties
Then finally your mindset can be bright
Then you will find the balance in your life

The world is hard; it’s not like tying a tie
Sometimes we will break; feel helpless and not bright
It is then that we must say we can; for this is life.
