Out From The Darkness

My first duet song/poem, about achieving your dreams. Enjoy!

Out From The Darkness

Him: In the darkness that surrounds me

Shattered dreams are all that I see

And I'm staring across my fallen hopes

And their words

Her: They say I'm not good enough to make it

Forget everything, and don't fake it

As their mocking laughs echo round

How it hurts

Him: Let them laugh, but I'm gonna make it

For all my hopes and dreams

Her: It's my chance, and I'm gonna take it

'Cause that's what I believe

Both: And with you I'll soar with my dreams to the distant sky

'Cause we're gonna prove we can make it if we try

So take my hand now

Both: Fly on our dreams forever

Not stopping now, not ever

We're gonna show the world who we really are

Stand alone in this small town

And get up when we fall down

Hold you now as we reach for the distant stars

And out from the darkness, we soar into the sky

'Cause our dreams never die

Him: Like the sun breaking out after a storm

Now I see what I never saw before

And I'm searching for all the answers

In your eyes

Her: Like the leaves tumbling from trees in the fall

I'm among a thousand stories never told at all

And it's still too hard for us just to

Ignore the lies

Him: Let them think we're the misfits

But we know what we're fighting for

Her: And I know we can all be special

Yeah we can all be something more

Both: And with you I'll stay as the darkness falls around

'Cause you're the only light that can be found

And I understand now

Both: Fly on our dreams forever

Not stopping now, not ever

We're gonna show the world who we really are

Stand alone in this small town

And get up when we fall down

Hold you now as we reach for the distant stars

And out from the darkness, we soar into the sky

'Cause our dreams never die

CODA

Him: A hundred thousand broken hearts

The floodgates break open again

Her: But I'll face the world with an open heart

Though I just can't take the pain

Both: 'Cause hope lies in all of us

Believe our hearts are strong

And heroes lie in all of us

When we don't know where we belong

Author's Note

Sorry if it's a little long...
I wrote this after watching an episode of "Glee". lolol
but either way i was struck by everything, about how everyone in the club was ostracized by everyone else. yet they seemed to be the most ambitious and the most willing to struggle to achieve their dreams...

Once again... made of awesome! I really love the roll and flow of this one. I can almost see people struggling with the outside world, but having the grit to stick to their guns none the less. Very inspiring words and I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the request!

Well normally I don't like long poems or long stories =o But I don't think it would be as nice if it was shorter =o So don't make it short. It's perfect the way it is :P

loved it really !!! it was so unique .. the duet was handled so perfectly .. i have to say many poems lose their charm when made as duets just because they are not handled the right way ..... but this one is really great ... i liked it a lot... and i haven't watched glee but after reading this and knowing that glee inspired this i guess i would have to watch it =P
