I’m at a standstill and everything around me moves
no one will ever understand me because they will never walk in my shoes
I stand tall and I look proud
But the life I live is full of doubt
I work so hard, probably harder than the rest
this large” S” on my chest also stands for stress
I wonder why my success is taking so long
why is the next person receiving a standing ovation for singing the same ol’ song
when I did that song I sound good or just as better
Lately my heart has become harden
I remember when It use to be as delicate as a feather
I’m trying to keep the faith, but my flesh wants to break
Lend me a helping hand
give me the strength to go on
give me peace of  mind that I have yearned for in this world for so long
I know this is not my home, but can I have a bit of happiness before I go on
I’m running on empty
I’m tired, I’m through
Lord I’m done
I completely surrender to you
