Panto's Perspective

Say it straight - say it plain No more beating round the bushes again No more hiding, make it end Speak the truth and be a friend Say it now and do not lie Say it quick fore we die No more pretense to retrieve Orate all and let me live Say it, say it - don't be scared You said it then; no courage spared No person was able to stay your tongue Say your truth when I'm around

Maybe you're falling or even failing Maybe you're in pain or ailing Maybe you can't see the light and you're upset But you can't stop if you're not at the end as yet Perhaps it seems hopeless to you Your recent plan may fall apart too With the odds set against, you can't see success With the battle before you, you're really hard pressed You make another move but see no progress Will you stop right now with your life a mess? Will you give up all and just regress? Life is meant to be a constant test Strength increases only through stress Will you then lose your hope and accept the pain? Or will you still fight till you regain? Push beyond the pain of loss Push beyond and bear the cost You're already used to the pains you feel It was difficult but it could not kill You only die if you give up your life You were born to overcome this strife
