I've carried you thus far, don't you think its worth a try?
to test out those legs you fear will break?
I've done the best i can, to help you find peace.
can't you stand up for my sake... at least?
You grasped my hand with your needy iron- grip
and i remember what it was like to attempt to pull a tree right out of the ground
i recalled how it felt to flap my arms in an attempt to fly
and i envisioned how i felt the day i began a dig to china.
what was impossible, well, we all just gave it a shot
and what was possible was too little for the dime-ambitions we bought.
being with you is like trying to catch the moon in a butterfly net
and extending help as you boil in your self inflicted misery is like taming the winds that birth the hurricanes and tilt the limbs of the tallest trees.
i'm not sure how much longer i will last, burning in this pressure to aid the unaidable.
i'm not sure how much of a toll i will have to pay for my intent on being a friend.
i just want something better for the kid i knew was best,
and all i want is to see you rise above the worthless rest.
no im not your phony elementary schoolteacher that praises your every move or hands out encouragement that only foments damage to your progress..
i just want you to live your life
and i know i could'nt stand it if...
YOU KNOW I COULDN'T STAND IT IF....
