Being desperate   It's so revealing of what things really mean   It can give you a chance to recall the wonderful   When you could say to those with fearful hearts   "Be strong"   Life seems to interrogate itself   It shouldn't surprise you   You might never know the necessities   And I could never know what makes the world to you   There is someone who know what means the world to you   This could be the opportunity   The stakes are high, and the past doesn't change   The future is left for you to build   So often it can be too fast, too late   And poetic justice leaves no room for the helpless   Will the words ring true?   We were never meant to be alone   And we were never meant to feel so helpless   You are walking past an open door
