Hello Steemians, I really can't describe how steemit and dsound have been changing my life as of late. I feel really grateful to be on a platform that is revolutionizing the way content creators get paid. This song is off of my first Album Visions of a Better Life. I entered it into the steemit artist compilation put together by @soundlegion. This is a really awesome initiative and I feel blessed to be a part of it. I hope you enjoy, lyrics below. Revelations, are like a sensation that takes over your mind, body and soul. You lose control but gain awareness of the world around you. Today I came to realize that for the most part we are in control of our lives, even though we are subject to the laws of karma and reincarnation. We re-awaken only to find ourselves right back where we started going full circle. They say if you focus your chi you will be free and see the universe in all of its grandness. But all I see is sadness and pain. The Dalli Lama said he believes all suffering is caused by ignorance. Well I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was. Today is the beginning of the rest of my life I thought twice about theories Now I’m seeing clearly Felt a little leery trying to walk this path Snakes try to bite ya then slither back to the grass Gotta to hone my craft and find niche And see past the criticisms of theses idiot pricks Life’s a gift yet we live by the gun Kids mad young kill getting shot over funds Just a child of the sun livin by the basics yearning for the truth so few can barely face it so many wasted years being complacent seeing my peers caught up in the matrix Few just take there gift and replace it I’m trying to find that distant oasis I’m a make it my main goal To take hold of what I can’t control I Gotta free my soul in a world so cold It’s to he I owe that’s why I sing theses notes I’m a go for broke till good lord take me away And if I don’t I’ll just continue to stay and that’s the way it goes [Chorus] That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes Gotta live your life whether wrong or right Who’s supposed to choose if you win or lose You might gain sight in the dawn of night It’s far and few on theses avenues Stay strong and fight live long and bright Gotta learn your cues and know what to do This world just might take control but you keep your soul I supposed that’s the way it goes, it’s just the way it goes [Chorus] For a while I’ve been lost for words Never really knowing when our first fight had occurred It felt like a blur a strong premonition from a dream Not really knowing what this premonition means It seems the love boat on it’s approach Didn’t see the struggle that hit us both Throwing on my coat damn I hate goodbyes But I’ll see you in two weeks girl don’t cry Can’t get by got to make a change This road been to long it time to switch lanes I feel strained cause you wanna to give up on us It’s real pain that I’ve been bottling up for months Don’t know why we ended here my love for you was so sincere but it seemed our fears just took control and now we walk down separate roads and I hope you know you lost a friend our broken hearts we’ll never mend guess it doesn’t really matter in the end Like a trend I won’t see you again and that’s the way it goes [Chorus] That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes Gotta live your life whether wrong or right Who’s supposed to choose if you win or lose You might gain sight in the dawn of night It’s far and few on theses avenues Stay strong and fight live long and bright Gotta learn your cues and know what to do This world just might take control but you keep your soul I supposed that’s the way it goes, it’s just the way it goes [Chorus] Damn it’s been a hell of a year yet I’m still in health but Miss Dawn went and killed herself I guess she felt that she had no cared Living in this world didn’t seem so fair She bared the brunt of raising three seeds Welfare couldn’t help with her needs Enrolled in school to try and get a degree But it was love that she wanted to see So she left this place no more does she have to scrape or have to take the pain of a heart breaks it hard to fly away when your wings are clipped It seems that this world is mean as shit Even if you run from your problems today You can’t give or throw your problems away It’s just a part of the play this stage that we call life And yes some say that we come twice Maybe some day she will reach the light In spite of what they teach is right yea it takes it toll another soul trying to reach it goal It gets cold walking down this road but that’s the way it goes
