I forgive your weakness
In light of all this bleakness
You were merely human
Destined to be ruined

Startled as your brevity
Turned to my longevity

I can't follow your steps
Can't go the places you went
I must forge my own path
Overcome & surpass

Startled as your brevity
Turned to my longevity

The more I see around me
The more it does to ground me
At peace with all my limits
Grateful for all I'm given

Startled as your brevity
Turned to my longevity
