When the breath feels heavy and the day seems dense, zoom out on life;
When the flight is solo and the heart is hollow, zoom out on life.
Beauty is in the big picture, victory in those valorous scars;
Darkest hours are also when brightest shine the stars.
We break a little every day, we build a little too;
We drown a little every day, we swim a little too.
When doubt shrouds faith and the soul sinks in despair;
Smile into the mirror and say this too I shall repair.
Not all chapters can be grey, not all memories sour;
Sweet feels the bud today, bitter the wilting flower.
It's but one life to love and live, one chance to fight it all;
How do we rise and piece together, if never we fumble and fall.
When the clouds gather and the storm brews strong, zoom out on life;
When dreams lie shattered and hopes look scattered, zoom out on life.
