Save The Day
Alana Davis Lyrics

I've lived my life beside an ocean
I have spent my whole life surrounded by powerful emotions that affect me deeply.

And every day I drown emotions with the tide
Every day, I try to suppress and ignore my emotions, but they always come back stronger.

And no one's ever asked me why
Nobody has ever taken the time to ask me about what I'm going through or how I feel.

Guess I'm silly to waste my time
I feel foolish for hoping that anyone would care about me and my struggles.

I reach and stretch too far to measure
I try to do everything I can to fix things, sometimes to the point of hurting myself.

And I break myself to keep together all the time
I constantly sacrifice my own well-being in order to appear put-together and strong for others.

It's a struggle to be kind
It's hard to be kind and compassionate when the world seems so harsh and unforgiving.

In a world that seems so blind
The world feels like it's lacking empathy and understanding.

Before I grow too old to seize the day
I don't want to miss my chance to live my life to the fullest before it's too late.

Before I spread my wings and fly away
Before I die or leave this place, I want to experience everything I can.

I'd like to get to see my heart at play
I want to let my guard down and let myself be vulnerable and follow my heart.

And see if love can't save the day
I want to explore the power of love and see if it can bring light and healing to the world.

What if it's the only way
What if love is the only solution to the problems we face as individuals and as a society?

Can we save the day?
Can we come together and use love as a force for good to make the world a better place?

Aside from my faith there is no glory
My faith provides the only source of hope and meaning in my life.

And aside from the truth there is no story anymore
Without honesty and authenticity, life feels empty and meaningless.

We're all soldiers in the war
Life feels like a constant battle against all the challenges we face.

But tell me what are we fighting for
Despite all our struggles, it often feels like we don't even know why we are fighting or what we hope to achieve.

Feels like we've been here forever
Life can feel like a never-ending cycle of pain and hardship.

As I break myself to keep together and apart
I continue to sacrifice my own well-being to keep myself functioning, but it only serves to isolate me further from others.

From a way that eats my heart
The way I am living my life is slowly destroying me from the inside out.

I don't know how it got so hard
I can't understand how life has become so overwhelming and difficult to manage.
