Mom and Dad think that, there's something wrong
Your life's been this way for much too long
Holding down your dreams and, whats in your heart
They try to stop your ambitions from the start
Hold on! To your dreams of a better way.
Don't Wait! Live life for today.
And those screams and cries inside, fighting your own will
Can't stop the pain on your body still
You try and stop cuz you know it's not right
And i feel your pain with you, as I like away tonight
Hold on! To your dreams of a better way.
Don't Wait! Live life for today.
Dust aside your fears and let yourself shine through
Hold onto your hopes cause they can get you through
If you can realize there is a better way
Then maybe you can wait and hold out for today
This is an ugly song for an ugly subject; Abuse. Drug abuse, physical abuse, child abuse, and the pain and frustration that comes from mental abuse. This is an ugly song, however the chorus hopes for "a better way" where the abused breaks free from the abuser, free to live as they choose. Never forget your goals and dreams, and most importantly, never forget hope, which will see these goals and dreams through. Live life for today.
