Have You Ever?

Have you ever held depression at bay?
Waiting for a light to enter your life each day.
Have you ever simply given things away?
Holding onto your words as your internal pain held sway.
Have you ever held onto your despair?
Smiling, carrying on no matter the negativity coming your way.
Have you ever? (Pause) Holding on while letting go.
(Instrumental)
Have you ever given your love away?
Holding onto memories shared as your time slowly slips away.
Have you ever faced complete, utter loss?
Holding back all your tears to carry on for all.
Have you ever seen someone sadly pass?
Their last breath expelled as their light left their eyes.
Have you ever? (Pause) Holding on while letting go.
(Instrumental)
Have you ever been homeless and alone?
Swallowing back your tears clinging onto your internal self worth.
Have you ever lost your fricken mind?
Strapped in a bed without knowledge of your own name.
Have you ever acted as a clown?
Regardless of your own personal issues cheering up everyone around.
Have you ever? (Pause) Holding on while letting go.
(Instrumental)
Have you ever had someone help you?
As most of your acquaintances turned and walked quietly away.
Have you ever turned away from wealth?
Avoiding all contracts offered hiding their true motives and intentions.
Have you ever witnessed acts of hate?
Inequality leads us all towards it sad to simply say.
Have you ever? (Pause) Holding on while letting go.
(Instrumental)
Have you ever?
