To be filled with broad daylight
A glass of beer, sharing cheers
Happiness beyond compare

Fight like birds that have beak
Though your chances are bleak.

Petrified, in his sturdy arms I cling
Can’t fly though I have wings
Afraid to throw up as my head spins

Drenched her with pain
It’s water, tastes bittersweet
While she walked down the streets
Her thoughts run so deep

Reminds me of my mother‘s smile

Always hopeful in every bout.
