Across The Page

Days slip away
like tears unshed,
and moments of my life
drift on by
like the dreams
that won't let go,
won't let go.

The weight of the world
still bears down on me.
The stress of reality
digs in deep.
Trying to make ends meet,
my dreams won't let go.
They won't let go.

Chorus:
The page is waiting to be written.
Life can't remain on hold.
Dreams beckon from the distance.
The page is there, waiting
for the pen to spill.

Whispers of my heart
pour through the ink.
Everything locked inside
becomes words on the page.

And they are pounding on the door.
The real world threatens to come on in.
The burden of responsibility awaits.
My dreams scream that they won't go.
They won't go.

Chorus:

Bridge:

How long will I walk this endless circle?
How long will my dreams burn?
I am holding the pen
over another blank page,
and I want to write my soul.
My dreams won't go.
I'll never let them go.

Chorus (Repeat Twice)

Dear Melissa

Please do not despair we still have enough air to breath? Worrying will not get you ahead. I though just to live perhaps more modest and that is good with me. Thought will share my thoughts with you. We are also have difficult time with the cost of living here in Canada. The cost has been increased in all areas, Food and housing is extremely expensive also the Gasoline and here we do not have a proper transportation the one can get from point A to B..

Thank you and be well...Zuzanna

Dear Melissa

The song or Lyrics is up to date with such wonderful thought provoking lines to the one that comes to read this write. You have captured reality well. It is all over the World now the heaviness of the increasing cost of living and the salary are low. It will bring the World down if this is going to continuous like this. I am not a visionary but anyone can feel the impact of the prices we pay. Very wise write-Thank you foe sharing!

Have a great weekend!
