The Beginning of the Story (feat. Michael Ursu) [Spoken Word]

When I open my eyes

I know another day begins

I lay still and stare at the ceiling for longer than I should

"Why am I still here?"

I cannot feel in me the will to... do

To make it through... another day

So I pray to... someone ...

Give me strength to make it through

Why do I have to be alone?

What plan was this to make my heart feel like stone?

On the street I walk

The sounds of footsteps fall all around me

My head down but my eyes reach up to the faces of those passing by me

The strangers all blur into facelessness

The same face, the same uncaring face

The same... sad face

Don't you understand?

It doesn't work without you

If I found the words to stop and ask

Would you be the one to walk the extra mile?

That power left me. Do you have it in you still?

If you have it, I don't want to take anything from you but...

Could you lend me a smile?

Could you give me strength to make it through

It doesn't work without... without you

Can someone please walk the extra mile?

Could YOU lend me a smile?

So many people all around

I drown in people but...

All they look is down, and down, and down

Please look at me

If I could find the strength to make it through

If you could find a way to

walk the extra mile and please...

lend me a smile. For me, that would do.

I need the strength to make it through

We need the strength to make it through.

And today, if you were the one who walked the extra mile.

Then maybe today I would find a reason to make it through And perhaps there will be a day, a day not so far away, a day when you feel like I do today

And then on that day, I would be the one to lend you a smile
