Was It Worth It?

Empty faces lifeless eyes Dirty hands behind the lies And those who try to rise above Are torn apart ignored unloved And then I ask myself What am I fighting for Why keep sacrificing For hearts that feel no more But maybe it's not for them Maybe it's not for today Maybe it's for a voice That hasn't found its way Maybe it's for a truth Still waiting to be shown Or maybe it's just for me Because I chose to believe To give a meaning to the time I've lived and breathed I don't need a crowd I don't chase applause or fame I know each new discovery Brings me closer to the flame So I keep moving forward Clench my fists and carry on Opening new roads ahead Where others will walk along It doesn't matter how many But where we're heading to But maybe it's not for them Maybe it's not for today Maybe it's for a voice That hasn't found its way Maybe it's for a truth Still waiting to be shown Or maybe it's just for me Because I chose to believe To give a meaning to the time I've lived and breathed And even when darkness surrounds me Even when silence feels so strong Every step in the right direction Starts a current moves the world along Yes it's worth it Even if they don't understand It's worth it Even if they never clap their hands It's worth it Because this is what I choose My dear children This is the gift I leave to you Because even if the world Doesn't deserve it I do
