FOR THE MANY
 

For the many who care,
for the many who try,
for the many who laugh,
for the many who cry.

For the many who fear,
for the many I touch,
for the many who are unable,
to believe and trust too much.

For the many who win,
for the many who lose,
for the many who live,
and those afraid to choose.

For the many whose time,
gets worried away,
for the many who can't,
take any action today.

For the many who hide,
what they really feel,
and have lost touch,
with what is actually real.

For the many who go on,
despite their pain,
who believe they can,
and they try again.

For the many who will,
for the many who won't,
for the many who smile,
for the many who don't.

The time is here,
it ticks slowly away,
with it we lose,
many hours and days.

Take a step into the unknown,
give yourself a chance to live,
find out within your being,
some sense of hope to give.

Don't remain in the fear and the dark,
and let your life slip away,
what is the worst that can happen,
if you try and fail today?

So tomorrow you try again,
and try until you win,
for, as each thing before,
it is fearful to begin.

If you really want,
if you really desire,
if you really believe,
then start your fire!

Wake up and smile,
the world is waiting for you,
it is your time to live,
and it is your time to do.

For the many who know,
for the many who've cried,
for the many who have done,
what they once feared inside.

For the many who took,
that chance at living,
and who are now,
loving and giving.

For the many who took,
the effort and tried,
and were able to smile,
before they died.

The chance is here,
for each and every one,
today could be the last,
and where can you run?
