It takes so much to put our hearts on the line
To put aside insecurities and fears
Finding the courage to take such a big gamble
Rolling the dice hoping for victory instead of tears
There is so much that is out of our control
Another’s heart or mind we cannot force
All we can do is live as we believe
Try our best and stay the course
I know it sounds trite and too simple
But in the end, it is hope that will lead you to success
Keep reaching and the world will turn in your favor
And you will build your bridge to happiness
There will always be those who do not see what we see
Their words can wound and leave us in despair
But our will is strong and our hope runs deep
Our hearts will stay open and ready to share
