Closer

(album: MY NINJA WAY - 2023)

All that we love and hold so dear
Could disappear one day without warning
We fear if we get too close to it
We'll lose it all in a heartbeat

Can you reminisce? Can you recall
The last time you felt some joy at all?
Or maybe you are so blessed to a point
Where you can't remember anything

The fact we're alive right here and now
We take it for granted but that's how
We'll find hope when we may need it most
When we realize the miracle

All that we love and hold so dear
Could disappear one day without warning
We fear if we get too close to it
We'll lose it all in a heartbeat
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
And I'll never take it for granted
Let's go

Some people may call the kindest deed
An act of mere hypocrisy
But never mind those who have lost their faith
You shouldn't give in to what they say
As a matter of fact, just hear me out
Even if it was for a selfish cause
A salvageable hypocrisy
Is superior to murderous honesty

Everyone tells you from time to time
To never give up like a scene from a movie
They tell you to stand up for yourself
As if was always that easy
There is a handful of courage in my heart
That is waiting to shine on my darkest day
And I'll never take it for granted
Let's go

All that we love and hold so dear
Could disappear one day without warning
We fear if we get too close to it
We'll lose it all in a heartbeat
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
And I'll never take it for granted

Everyone tells you from time to time
To never give up like a scene from a movie
They tell you to stand up for yourself
As if it was always that easy
There is a handful of courage in my heart
That is waiting to shine on my darkest day
And I'll never take it for granted
Let's go
