EVERYTHING  I WANTED TO BE
EVERYTHING I WANTED THE WORLD TO BE
EVERYTHING I WANTED

DIDN'T EXACTLY HAPPEN

THE WAY I WANTED IT TO

SOME THINGS WERE LOST
SOME THINGS WERE GIVEN
SOMETHINGS WERE TAKEN

AWAY
FAR AWAY
NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN

BUT

EVERYTHING  I AM
I CAN  THANK YOU FOR

EVERYTHING I WANTED THE WORLD TO BE
IS NOT MY FAULT, IT WASN'T.

EVERYTHING I WANTED
ONLY I AM AT FAULT FOR NOT HAVING

MAYBE I DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH

SOME THINGS LOST
I MISS AND GRIEVE FOR
EVERYDAY

SOME THINGS GIVEN
I AM HAPPY TO HAVE SHARED

SOME THINGS TAKEN
WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN

BUT I KNOW

MY  LIFE WAS NOT WASTED
I AM HERE FOR A REASON

I HAVE BEEN TO HELL
DON'T REALLY KNOW IF I CAME BACK

BUT FOR THE LOSSES AND THE PAIN

I HAVE GROWN
I AM STRONGER
I AM WILLING

TO REACH OUT
TO MAKE DREAMS FOR OTHERS COME TRUE
ALL I CAN SAY IS, TAKE MY HAND

I AM HERE FOR YOU....I WILL HELP YOU BE
ALL THAT YOU CAN BE

I WILL SUPPORT YOU
I WILL TALK YOU THROUGH
THE DESPAIR, BROUGHT TO YOU
BY
EVERYTHING LOST
EVERYTHING YOU SUFFER
EVERYTHING YOU FEEL...

GRAB THAT HAND
REACHING OUT TO YOU..

WHEN MY JOB HERE IS THROUGH

I WILL AGAIN  BE
WITH THOSE I HAVE LOST
AND BE BETTER FOR HAVING
TO EXPERIENCED IT...

THEN EVERYTHING  I EVER WANTED
I WILL HAVE...
EVERYTHING.....
