YOU DON'T KNOW THE END

 WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2016 

IN THE BEGINNING YOU DON'T KNOW THE END

AND RIGHT IN BETWEEN THERE

THE MIXED MESSAGES THEY SEND

HOW COULD WE EVER LET IT COME TO THIS

LEVELS OF CONTROL THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST

ONE AND ONE IS TWO

UNLESS THEY TELL YOU THE ANSWER IS BLUE

TAKE EVERY CHANCE YOU GET

TO SAVOR THE TASTE

TAKE ALL YOU CAN TAKE

THE FREEDOMS THAT YOU MAKE

MOVING THROUGH LIFE YOU TRIP AND FALL

YOU DUST YOURSELF OFF AND START AGAIN

BECAUSE FREEDOMS STILL THERE

JUST OUT OF REACH

FROM CONCRETE JUNGLES

TO A SANDY BEACH

ALL THESE DAYS PASS YOU BY SO QUICKLY

IT LEAVES YOU DAZED

THE HOURS YOU WASTED YOU WILL TRY TO GET BACK

BUT DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME THERE

KEEP MOVING FORWARD

AFTER YOU LOCK THAT DOOR

NOTHING CHANCED, NOTHING GAINED

YOU WON'T  WIN EVERY TIME, BUT IT'S BETTER 

THAN MORE OF THE SAME

SOME WILL MAKE IT, SOME NEVER WILL

TOO MUCH TIME TO KILL

MATTERS NOT YOUR GOD IN THE END

THE GODS WERE ALL AROUND YOUR EARTHLY BONDS

EVERY STAR, EVERY OCEAN, EVERY TREE

AND THE FRAGILE EARTH BENEATH YOUR FEET

FROM RAGING RIVERS, TO LITTLE STREAMS

THE SUN, THE MOON AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN 

A PART OF EVERYTHING

IN THE BEGINNING YOU DON'T KNOW THE END

AND RIGHT IN BETWEEN THERE

A SHORTCUT THROUGH TIME

A WINDOW FOR YOU TO FIND

AND IF YOU MISS IT DON'T WORRY AT ALL

YOU'LL TAKE THE SCENIC ROUTE

WHEN YOU HEAR THE CALL
