Out From The Darkness

My first duet song/poem, about achieving your dreams. Enjoy!

Out From The Darkness

Him: In the darkness that surrounds me

Shattered dreams are all that I see

And I'm staring across my fallen hopes

And their words

Her: They say I'm not good enough to make it

Forget everything, and don't fake it

As their mocking laughs echo round

How it hurts

Him: Let them laugh, but I'm gonna make it

For all my hopes and dreams

Her: It's my chance, and I'm gonna take it

'Cause that's what I believe

Both: And with you I'll soar with my dreams to the distant sky

'Cause we're gonna prove we can make it if we try

So take my hand now

Both: Fly on our dreams forever

Not stopping now, not ever

We're gonna show the world who we really are

Stand alone in this small town

And get up when we fall down

Hold you now as we reach for the distant stars

And out from the darkness, we soar into the sky

'Cause our dreams never die

Him: Like the sun breaking out after a storm

Now I see what I never saw before

And I'm searching for all the answers

In your eyes

Her: Like the leaves tumbling from trees in the fall

I'm among a thousand stories never told at all

And it's still too hard for us just to

Ignore the lies

Him: Let them think we're the misfits

But we know what we're fighting for

Her: And I know we can all be special

Yeah we can all be something more

Both: And with you I'll stay as the darkness falls around

'Cause you're the only light that can be found

And I understand now

Both: Fly on our dreams forever

Not stopping now, not ever

We're gonna show the world who we really are

Stand alone in this small town

And get up when we fall down

Hold you now as we reach for the distant stars

And out from the darkness, we soar into the sky

'Cause our dreams never die

CODA

Him: A hundred thousand broken hearts

The floodgates break open again

Her: But I'll face the world with an open heart

Though I just can't take the pain

Both: 'Cause hope lies in all of us

Believe our hearts are strong

And heroes lie in all of us

When we don't know where we belong

Author's Note

Sorry if it's a little long...
I wrote this after watching an episode of "Glee". lolol
but either way i was struck by everything, about how everyone in the club was ostracized by everyone else. yet they seemed to be the most ambitious and the most willing to struggle to achieve their dreams...

Reviews

[James Watts]

Can't say I watch that show, but I can say this was nice set of lyrics. Would sound nice if vocalized by the right duet.

[Jon]

Never really seem the show but after reading your peom I might have to watch it sometime. Great job man.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

I think Glee inspired a really inspirational poem / lyrics.
This is very good and makes the reader feel hopeful ... i enjoyed it.. i have never watched Glee.. I think i will now .. this is a very nice verse:

: 'Cause hope lies in all of us
Believe our hearts are strong
And heroes lie in all of us
When we don't know where we belong

[Theresa]

I could definitely see this song on an episode of Glee. I don't know who you were thinking about when writing it but I can see Rachel and Fin singing it. I think it being a duet is what makes it even better. It's the emotions of two people and the determination to succeed. You always have your dreams, great message, loved it.

[Norma M Sutton]

I now absolutely nothing about writing lyrics. Good luck with this one.

[Charles]

Good one! Can't see any weakness at all in these lyrics... the format (which is absolutely necessary to pull off the duet) is perfectly done... the voices echo from the page. Nicely done... I can think of a couple of twosomes who I'd like to hear sing this.

[a_mystery]

OMG..I just loved it.. never read something like it before.. u have done a brilliant job... :)

[R E Tree]

I can just imagine a girl and a boy singing this. This poem is very much like a song. I like the way i has been structured it's understandable. It was easy to read and simple. The girl and the boy make such a pair there words go together strongly and it sounds beautiful.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

the self affirmations of he and she come together in the dual affirmations they weave together~ I am very drawn to charachters as well as human beings who understand that self actualization comes from themselves and not others~ you represent this here beautifully~

[Jasmine]

Your work is just getting better and better! I love this, it's really life-affirming. Well done :)
