With your face on the floor, you reach out. With regret at all of your wasted life. Try to figure out where you went wrong. Don't give in to the hate. Don't give in to the lies. When they said that you were nothing worth being lived for. For the dreams that live in your mind, desires that reign in your heart. You can sing. Don't lose that spark from your eye. The friends that left you wanting. The family that left you haunted. You can sing. Don't lose that spark from your eye. With the Book on the floor, face up for the words to fill the air, reach out and grasp wisdom that belongs in your heart. Don't reach out with a fist, don't reach out with regret. But hold fast to the truth: you are something worth living for. No more wasted nights trying to make you come back to me. No wasted dreams for you. I can finally sleep at night and dream of peace. Don't fade.
This song is quite cool. it has a very depressing tone yet throughout it the singer offers glimpses of hope. he begins by describing a situation in which the subject of the song is drowning in a sense of despair. in three words the singer offers a way out...you can sing. by saying this he is reminding the subject that they have a voice and that they dont have to lay down and give up. then he says "dont reach out with a fist, dont reach out with regret. but hold fast to the truth: you are something worth fighting for." this line says a lot about how much the singer admires the subject. he is trying to convince them to believe that they truly are worth it. i love this song and i love what it says.
