Pull yourself out of the quick sand of despair
Separate the paths between fantasy and reality
Clear the fog and mist from life's constant cycle
And draw the lines over imaginary and unreality
Speak to your soul in rhythms that moves you
Write out your emotions in bright colors to cope
Reach the shining bright sun on the bright sky
And build life with blocks of courage and hope
Remember the stars are always within reach
If you don't quit and try to pass road blocks
You will find solace for your troubled heart
And it will not let life's shattered reality mock
If you don't know where to start afresh
Carefully open the gate of opportunity today
Keep moving even through bitter trials
So you can eventually find good life's way
Just get back up firmly when you fall down
Have sometime by yourself to get quickly ready
Separate the paths between fantasy and reality
And find grip on life that is strong and steady
