Above & Beyond

You have taken your expectations
From the crypt of darkness and fear
You have taken them to the surface
And now the hour draws near
Now you must take them just one step further
To where all of your thoughts are so clear

Be severe, choose to be strong
Don't abandon the core of your self
Believe that you are fit
To deliver the pearl from its shell

Scared to be an intimidation
To the ones who surround you in life
You have bowed to assimilation
As if she was a queen in her hive
Now you must stand by your aspirations
And the things for which you truly strive
