Winds of Change

I was sitting on top of the world
Living for you like I thought I should
Flying high, I thought I had it all
All that crumbled with a single call
I was paralyzed with fear and disbelief
Stricken with a severe amount of grief
Knocked to the ground, unable to move
At this point I had nothing left to lose
My life is incredibly changed forever
I have finally hidden away your letter
Slowly working myself to get better
You've kicked me down to the ground
I'm screaming but I can't hear a sound
I will stand up and raise my chin
I will not let myself be broken

This short enough for ya, Tone?

We can call it story of longing.
Of longing unfulfilled.
Of seconds passing onto minutes through generations
A memory that becomes sign
For which we go on striving.
Forgetting names of those we've sacrificed
(There's more where they came from!)
Yes, but what's the price
I pay for searching
Just like there is no end?
Just like everything I see is a blink
A thought crossing my mind
While I seek an answer
To a question I once asked?
It had something to do with what I'm all about.
I can't recall it all.
I can't recall too much just now.
But I was hungry
To go on looking
'Til I forget for all the looking was for
And stepping back to look for something more
Realized the further back I went
The more I had to go on searching
Just like there IS no end.
Just like everything I see IS a blink.
A thought crossing my mind while I seek
An answer.
