Worth the Fight

Worth The Fight - Marie Hines

Wipe the darkest shades away

Happiness your saving grace

Ignorance won't clean the slate

Won't find your final resting place

Don't circle 'round the task at hand

Or take a fall when you can stand

Disregard the reprimand

Needing more than secondhand

There's bigger pictures to paint

More horizons to chase

Something better than searching, reaching

Burning, bleeding black and white

Deeper oceans to swim

Unpredictable whims

And you're learning, you're learning

Freedom's worth the fight

Dreams dashed with apathy

Leave the ledge and set them free

Scaling walls in disbelief

Oh, you can't climb when you can't dream

(Chorus)

Tied up & bound in the cords of our conviction

Got my bag of tricks & my pocket full of luck

Watercolor, paint by number, a reminder of another

Telling me to stay in line

But I'm suffocating...

(Chorus)

Pictures to paint (How to laugh)

Horizons to chase (How to cry)

Better than searching (How to live with saying goodbye)

Bleeding, bleeding black and white

Oceans to swim (How to change)

Unpredictable whims (Break away from it all)

And you're learning (Freedom's worth the fight)
