Serenity
Mark S. Crocker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at all the birds in the sky
Did you ever wish that you could fly
In their formation everyone perfect
I can't help but kind of envy it
Cause life is all kinds of crazy
Thoughts clouded in a mess so hazy
You take a step back and wonder how did life get so effed up now
Cause I know, I know, I snapped
Cause I feel, so trapped
And I know, that hope will erase that, oh
So let me find, my peace of mind
It's been so long that I've forgotten how
So let me fall, I'll get back up
I'll sing this song for some serenity now
One day we'll fly, away from here
And i'll be happy, grinning ear to ear
You'll be the one, it could be this year
I'll get back up and be the one who's winning
Serenity now is all I want
Cure the sickness inside my veins
Go inside my head and confront the anxious demon that controls my brain
Cause I don't know if I can handle this
Life has these plans for me
And even though they're not the ones I want
I'll stick around long enough to see
That I know, I know, I snapped
Cause I feel, so trapped
And I know, that hope will erase that, oh
So let me find, my peace of mind
It's been so long that I've forgotten how
So let me fall, I'll get back up
I'll sing this song for some serenity now
One day we'll fly, away from here
And i'll be happy, grinning ear to ear
You'll be the one, it could be this year
I'll get back up & be the one who's winning
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh




I'll hold your hand, erase the past
We'll fly away, to our new beginning, oh
