thrust

lately i've been tripping on my own two feet
these days i've been stumbling on my words
i don't feel like i know that much
when i think about things now
there's a thrust inside the heart that wants to burst

i know how hard it feels inside
it comes with being young
you tell me that sometimes you want to die
i promise there's another way to end the misery
there's so much love inside your heart it cries

i know there's something greater than
the promise of this world
something in the eyes behind the smiles
it's that light behind the darkness
concealed in every face
it's time to go exploring for that now

you say that it's a struggle
and life will only give
a little bit and nothing more to you
but how little are you asking for
and what do you believe
about everything that comes back home to you

there's a golden thorny narrow path
underneath your feet
and it's stretching out beyond the border line
if you decide to choose that way
you're gonna have to trust the friend
truth and love unravel all in time
truth and love unravel all in time

i know there's something greater than
the promise of this world
something in the eyes behind the smiles
it's that light behind the darkness
concealed in every face
it's time to go exploring for that now
