Beyond Our Eyes - Monument

It seems so hard to move forward when we're always a step behind.
Will I know what it means to just let go?

Paint me a picture with the tears of the sky.
Indulge me with knowledge beyond my own eyes.
Show me the way to restore my pride,
And silence the fears that consume me inside.

This is more than a symbol of hope;
This is a monument to our lives,
To remind us that we all have purpose.
We just have to find it for ourselves.

And you can't expect,
All of the answers to appear right in front of you.
This is not the way to salvation.
This is not the way to live.
You're only hurting yourself in the end.

There's no easy way out of every problem.
The better things in life always come with a price to pay.
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong;
See where it gets you in the long run.
You won't ever be at peace with yourself.
You'll be wishing it was over and done.

But I'm here to guide you towards the light.

I know there is hope waiting on the other side.
Just put your trust in me; your faith in me,
And leave it all behind.

The first step is always the hardest,
When it's so easy to turn away.
But what do you have to lose?
Don't put your life on delay.
Just let go.
