Wasted

Cease your soul's endeavor
You should quit while you're ahead
'Cause few will make it ever
Try the safer road instead

How long till it gets better?
Ask yourself before you're dead
If you're content with never
By all means then go ahead

Was it all wasted?
All we did to survive?
If we cut split and run now
At least we can say that we tried

Was it all wasted?
Every wall that we climbed?
Or maybe god was listening to
Every single prayer that we cried.

Let's put this back together
If it's not beyond repair
But doubt was oh so clever
And convinced me to despair

The dark approaching weather
Threatens everything to end
But it won't last forever
Yes the sun will rise again

Let's put all the past behind
And faith by no fears confined
Though the river we cross is wide
God will be on our side.

Was it all wasted?
All we did to survive?
If we cut split and run now
At least we can say that we tried

Was it all wasted?
Trying to keep hope alive?
Or maybe god was listening to
Every single prayer that we cried.
