Something Better

These are my eyes to see, my world to view,
My life to live, to do what I'll do.
This is my time to spend, my past to redeem,
A future to lease, and what it may seem.
This is my voice to use, to speak out against,
This is my only life, my only chance.
Do I gamble my days for a better tomorrow?
Or do I sit where I am and watch the show?
Do I take what I've got, and be happy?
Or do I chance an exchange, and risk misery?

Dreams of something better, are still only dreams,
When I awake, they abandon me.
But the memory of something new can keep me going,
Even if a hopeless cause are all dreams are showing.
I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.
