The Weak End - Shawn James

The dark is always coldest before dawn as the day is slowly drawn

And sunlight and daybreak expose all the wrongs

From the night before, we wanted so much more

Now all we crave is rest and retreat

Give me rust over gold like a strength when I’m old

A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold

Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate

And an honest and humble ability to appreciate

Loss is always hardest at the start as it breaks the heart

And severs the ties of what once was

As we move on and realize what’s now gone

Learn to celebrate the times we once had

Give me rust over gold like a strength when I’m old

A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold

Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate

And an honest and humble ability to appreciate

Do you ever stop and think how come?

Have you ever wondered why we’re so numb?

Though it may not matter in the end

I just can’t help but ask will we ascend the weak end?

Give me rust over gold like a strength when I’m old

A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold

Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate

And an honest and humble ability to appreciate
