Resolve

As the day creeps away
Your resolve begins to rust
The doubt begins as you sway
Losing the strength you could trust

And as the day dims
And you lose the warmth on your face

You had a vow
Wrote out your pact
Being tested now
Trying not to react

And as the day dims
And you lose the warmth on your face

Tired, hungry and downtrodden
Your reserves pour with your tears
The pain breaks through all of a sudden
In the mirror you cannot hide your fears

And as the day dims
And you lose the warmth on your face

Breathe in deep and take it slow
Rest easy my friend and take my hand
Let go of your fear and your woe
With cold resolve you make your stand

And as the day dims
And you lose the warmth on your face
Let your heart open up and let love fill the empty space
