are you going to give up?

you have a great idea
it seems the perfect thing
you imagine a bright future
you hear your heart...it sings

you start climbing up the mountain
toward the glorious goal
but one day as you travel
you fall into a hole

what once seemed so important
the brightest prize ahead
its golden pull has weakened now
the aliveness feels so...dead

this heavy kind of feeling
it fills your inner cup
now the measure comes to pass
are you going to give up?

will you keep on going
no burning beacon hot
can you keep on trudging through
wanting to or not?
