Sorting through some old papers in a binder.

There is what I want
And there is what I am
And all the things I say and do
Are faking me and shaking you
Is this who I am
Or only [try/fail/wish] to be?
Just a shrug, a sigh, a 'Wonder why'?
A punchline no-one's laughing to?
Say 'Hold on' all I want
Nothing's holding on
The light is green for things unseen
Ready or not it comes along
Count me in, I guess
I'll pack a bag of past
Only lessons learned and smiles earned
Are light enough to carry on
---
I saw you coming
I could see you for miles
At the horizon
Lifting your hands
Just at dawn
As if you lifted the sun
from her cradle
Here I am
On a hill
I worked hard
Hand and will
You won't take this from me
I saw you stand
Confident eyes
Across the plain
Hands still raised
To the sky
As if you could keep it out
of your eyes
Here I am
On a hill
I worked hard
Head and will
Don't take this from me
I see your hands
Silhouettes
As the move with the wind
they move us all
Here I am
On a hill
I worked hard
Heart and will
Don't
