After All

Go aheadpush you luckfind out how much love the world can holdonce upon a
Time I had controland reigned my soul in tight. well the whole truthitЂ™s
Like the story of a wave unfurledbut I held the evil of the worldso i
Stopped the tidefroze it up from insideand it felt like a winter machine
That you go through and thenyou catch your breath and winter starts again
And everyone else is spring bound. and when I chose to livethere was no joy
ItЂ™s just a line I crossedit wasnЂ™t worth the pain my death would costso i
Was not lost or found. and if I was to sleepI knew my family had more truth
To tell. and so I traveled down a whispering wellto know myself through
Them. growing upmy mom had a room full of booksand hid away in thereher
Father raging down a spiral stairtill he found someonemost days his son
And sometimes I think my fathertoowas a refugeeI know they tried to keep
Their pain form methey could not see what it waas for. but now IЂ™m sleeping
Finesomet
Imes the truth is like a second chanceI am the daughter of a great romance
And they are the children of the war. well the sun rose with so many colors
It nearly broke my heartit worked me over like a work of artand I was a
Part off all that. so go aheadpush your lucksay what it is you gotta say
To mewe will push on into that mysteryand itЂ™ll push right backand there
Are worse things than thatcause for every priceand every penance that i
Could think ofitЂ™s better to have fallen in lovethan never to have fallen
At allcause when you live in a worldwell it gets into who you thought youЂ™d
Beand now I laugh at how the world changed meI think life chose me after
All.
