Too much Life

When life is too busy
What can we do
When there’s no time to stop
To make our dreams come true

When pressure’s mounting
And our hearts full of fire
Make us go astray
Driven by desire

When our road is troubled
And our best is not enough
Our courage falters, fails
Because it’s all too tough

When our friends are waiting
But there’s nothing we can do
Because we have to pay the cost
Feeling how we’re truly lost

All the things that we have done
Creates the path we’re taking
And all the things that we do
Create the truth we’re making

Life’s a constant battle
As we strive to be, do right
But there’s much that we can do
As we struggle every night

Stop for a moment
Quietly look around
The truth is out there waiting
Waiting to be found
