LYRIC FOR SALE

By Declan H

You're standing on the road and it feels so hard
Trying to stand tall while you fall apart
The sun is setting now and it's getting dark
Then the tremors come back and your feet feel parked
Its harder each day to make that start
And you're not sure you would without your spark

Its two boys and your man holding out their hands
Its two boys and your man reminding you you can
You've got it in you
Because we love you
And we know you
Are stronger than you feel

It was a silly little shake that your eldest saw
A bouncing little finger broadcasting your body's fraud
These days things are harder and they won't get easier
Your life has changed, it's like you've been hit by a meteor
Its harder each day to make that start
And you're not sure you would without your spark

Its two boys and your man holding out their hands
Its two boys and your man reminding you you can
You've got it in you
Because we love you
And we know you
Are stronger than you feel

It's a lonely space, its an empty place
It's where you find yourself
Displaced like waste
Its an echo chamber of such smart fools
Such confusing moods
Wishing life would just conclude…
Then the shakes would stop
You'd be back on top
You'd be out of the swamp

And your body would be yours again
And your mind would be yours again

But that's not you
Even when you want to
You've still got something
to hold on to

Its two boys and your man holding out their hands
Its two boys and your man reminding you you can
You've got it in you
Because we love you
And we know you
Are stronger than you feel

So you are not dismissed and we three commit
To push through this
We'll be limitless
We'll fight this thing, knock it out the ring
And when the bell ends the bout
it will be down for the count

Two boys and their Mother, a Man and his Wife
standing beside you to take back your life
Your love overflows and with them you know
That despite what life's dealt
You’ve always been so much stronger than you felt
