Stay the Course

A comeback story. Can love overcome adversity this strong?

Stay the Course
Writings by Marcello

I envy that eagle that soars through the sky
I sit locked in this cage and keep wondering why
Why I bartered my freedom just to get high
I have able wings but unable to fly

Hurts being apart
Try but can't shake it
Put on mask
Too weak to fake it
It's us vs. the world
Some say we won't make it
They say it's a risk
For your love I'll take it

Trust is a must
Lusts not enough
Must stay the course
Or crumble to dust
This road may be rough
An opponent that's tough
But to allow this to falter
Would be unjust

I am all in - my cards on the table
You know I don't bluff or shoot from the cuff

So I'm staying the Course
That's my firm choice
Are you getting my message?
Can you hear my voice?

Babe I can't lose you 
My heart can't handle that loss
So join me my love
In staying the course

[John the Baptist]

The impression is that the speaker is a prisoner who realizes what he has lost. The voice sounds sincere. May his lawyer be similarly motivated.
