Clarity

She spends her time dreaming
When reality's not quite enough
Stares out the window, wishing
'Cause life can get so tough
She's learned so many things
With the bad will always come good
To jump up and spread her wings
When no one knew she could

He's the firstborn male at home
And he's searching for a gem
Voices tell him he's alone
He's ignoring them
No one seems to notice
The things he's dealing with
Not as many as our troubles
But that doesn't mean they don't exist

'Cause we're all singing a part
Of the exact same melody
And each of us is a star
In a vibrant galaxy

Another girl is waiting
And it's slowly killing her
But she's so strong for saving
What will be best, she is sure
She thinks she fails a lot
But she's wrong; she's doing fine
'Cause she's relying on her God
For the things that will take time

A boy looks to the sky
Trying not to be afraid
Around is neck, Joshua 1:9
And he stands up tall and brave
But the struggles are within
And the future's just too close
Sometimes the fights under your skin
Are the ones that hurt the most

Yeah, we're all singing a part
Of the exact same melody
And each of us is a star
In a vibrant galaxy




And so here I am again
So repetitive, I write
Words from my fingers through my pen
But I write for them this time

There's something you need to know
So listen, here we go

We walk on our own
Hoping we're not alone
And the evidence supports our hopes
It will only ever grow
Not a fall that we take
Not a single mistake
Is a separate move
That has never been made
We're reaching for someone
Who understands
And if you read the words of others
You'll find an outstretched hand

'Cause we're all singing a part
Of the exact same melody
And each of us is a star
In a vibrant galaxy

We're all screaming a part
Of the exact same agony
And again we'll fall apart
But God is our clarity
