This song is inspired by all the people who have helped shape me into who I am and by the people I love the most.
lyrics
Now it seems like you've been through hell and back
It's pretty gutsy straying off the path
That the people before you laid out
No second guessing, don't turn around
Though the branches may be cracking beneath your feet
You said "honey, after this passes life will be sweet."
Let the winds take your troubles away
Time never lasts when you want it to stay
All of this world is nothing without you
I'll be a playwright and you'll be the lead
Act like you're happy and eventually
It'll start making sense that love's all around
It just takes courage to figure it out
You can try to step in someone else's shoes
Give a stranger a flower and don't read the news
Look up at the sky and not at your feet
Send home a postcard and you'll make their week
All of this world is nothing without you
And when you start feeling restless and just want to run
Close your eyes for a second and imagine a world when you're gone
All of this world is nothing without you
