CHALLENGER'S RAP

• Can I still hear the silence when I’m asleep at night?
• Do I notice everything when nothing is in sight?
• In my dreams do I watch without ever really seeing?
• Can love make me invisible to every other feeling?
•  
• Void of all emotion climbed the stairways of my heart
• Choosing to reflect on a life that somehow meant to start
• Revealing all of the secrets that belong inside my head
• When I always meant to walk away from where I dared to tread
•  
• Do I lose all sense and reason when I focus on a single face?
• Crashing down defences keep my plans away from every place
• Walking away from thoughts that block my vision of the future
• Daring to believe it’s right to take my dreams much further.
•  
• Though shadows follow closely behind my every step
• I’m destined for the feelings that control the thoughts inside my head
• So I take careful steps to walk on solid ground not sand
• Looking for the reasons to reach out and take an empty hand.
•  
• Longing for acceptance in every step that I may take
• Trying to make sure that if I bend I’ll never have to break
• Emerging from the comfort of the days that went before
• Reaching out for what’s behind both sealed and open doors.
•  
• I know sometimes I talk more than I listen
• For that I hope you’ll accept my apology.
• I know that sometimes you get really angry
• If I’m not who or what you want me to be.
•  
• But you know I love you more than words can say
• I need to say it now so that you won’t walk away
• You will never know just how much you mean to me
• So I’m telling you now so that you can really see
•  
• CHORUS
• Still I see your eyes each time that I close mine
• I can’t see a sunset without seeing your face in my mind
• I’m losing all the loneliness that made me feel I wasn’t enough
• Could this be how two hearts know that they’re in love?
