I let my feelings out in this song, expressing how discouraged I'd become during my musical journey. It's not easy pursuing your dreams and remain passionate while going up against all kinds of adversity. Not to mention the naysayers or anxiety. I hope this song will be motivational to listeners. I want dreamers to keep going, keep believing, keep writing or whatever you're striving for and make it count.
lyrics
Feeling like I can’t get up
Unmotivated and stuck
Dreams, what are they?
Why continue to try?
It’s taken thousands of years
Just for me to face my fears
Really, is this what I want?
To see it and then I don’t
But I believe cause I have to hang in there
I believe cause I can’t let it end here
The passion is burning inside
It’s something I can’t deny
Though life is wearing me thin
Though I never fit in
Ooh, I just want to fly and never fall
Lord, don’t let me fall
Ooh, I feel like I’m giving it my all
Lord, don’t let me fall this time
Whenever things are amiss
Sinking into an abyss
Praying to lift my head
Fasting to move ahead
The longer it takes, the stronger it makes me
Although to me I am weak… Lord, your face I seek
I am in desperate need of peace
Tired of wrestling with this anxiety
Voices call me a failure …Voices laugh when I falter
Turn up the music loud as I can
As I begin to write again
Ooh, I just want to fly and never fall
Lord, don’t let me fall
Ooh, I feel like I’m giving it my all
Lord, don’t let me fall this time
