I Almost...

I've learned that anything that has a start comes to an end.
The sky might spend the day crying until it has no more tears left to shed.
The sun might shine, but at the end of the day it turns and leaves me in the dark.
I've learned that life's an expedition,                               I guess I'm Lewis or maybe I'm Clark.
Even they started near St. Louis and ended at the Pacific Coast, 
    I almost...

I've learned that everything that comes to me has to go.
Even the wind blows, until it runs out of breath.
The earth quakes until there is nothing left
I've learned that there is Haitian in me and set sail across the Caribbean Sea,
    I almost believed...

I've learned that whenever there is a first there is also a last.
I felt the heart beat in the womb then searched for it through the casket.
I became a mascot because the pain I needed to conceal
I've learned that once I open up, 
I hate how much I feel (inside)
    I almost disguised...

I've learned that whatever is saved ends up being lost.
The crowed even watched as the Savior was nailed to the cross.
The world is full of evil and it makes life so hard.
Even when the last petal withers away and a knew flower blooms I ask, "Where is God?"
I've learned that when I call there is a disconnection,
    I almost listened...

I've learned that where there is more somewhere else there is less.
The rich flash their diamonds that the man dug out of the trenches.
The food was lined up across the buffet,
But I'm still wondering how we're going to eat today.
I've learned that if there's a will then there's a way, even if its wrong,
    I almost belong...

I've learned that when there is love there is also hate.
The stars come with the moon, but end up shooting farther off into space.
We shoot for the stars, but they swing the bat and break our legs.
Even when there is nothing left to give they come through and take.
I've learned that even if you serve them your heart on a silver platter they get a taste of love and digest,
    I almost trust...

I almost believed in my own disguise.
I almost listened to the voice that told me to cross the line because that is where I belong.
I almost gave my trust until I saw that there were no funds. 
Sometimes I hate that my love is so abundant,
I tend to make adjustments that leave me with less, yet I still want to give more.
At times I feel lost even though I saved the directions the clerk gave me back at the store.
He told me it was the last house on the left, but first I have to find the right road
Everything seems so twisted and I dont know where to go.
I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore.
I had to come to my senses 
and follow the yellow brick road til it ends.
I guess I had to start somewhere
    I almost did...
