Esotus - Diagon Alley XVI Lyrics

In this play of life
In a story of a man
Of a war, and love, be torn
Between his self, and where he stands

To paint this dream of dreams
Let this play move in-between
Who he was and who he'll be
Now, if I may, please enter scene

Trudge the endless hours in the flowers of the valley
Till the day I meet myself, and travel deep into the alley
Tell this man he's not alone
That he's a wizard at best
And at his worst he is a king who lost his path
And needs is some rest

With the broken hearts, and see-through scars
The shattered windows of his car
The wars he holds, inside his bones
Of all the days spent chasing mars

You're not alone I'd say
People here, they make mistakes
Some are simple, some are hard
Some hurt others, leave some scars

But the value of a man
Is not the wheels that he churns
It's in his willingness to try again
And bring along the lessons learned

The battles that you've fought
Along with bridges that you've burned
The friends and family lost
Are all the things you see you've earned

If the goal for those you love
Including yourself
Is they are safe, loved, and held
Then see of course you'd go through hell

Cuz this battles not your own
It's every man, woman's, and child's
And no, this ain't an easy road
And yes this path may take a awhile

Giving up though
Then what's the point of having hope
There are things within your life
You can't control, so let it go

I'll have you know today
Is but a simple breath away
But if you choose for you to go
Then with you, right here, I will stay

Looking at you
Just know that it doesn't get better
But you get stronger
Battle smarter
Cuz your love is made of water

And like water you can shift
And flow, and freeze, and fill the cracks
Then begin to flood the broken rifts
With the lessons of the past

But flowers, they don't bloom from only sun
They need the rain
And they fight through all the dirt
Endure the hail, and winds to stay

So say you mister wizard
King of men, a friend of few
If I may begin to ask, if it's not you
Then who

Cuz from where I'm from, the place I stand
Looking at you man to man
It still, today, does make me sad
But it's okay, I understand

The friends and those who looked to you
To be a leader we all need
The one that you let down the most is you
And so sow your seeds

Between the rabbit hole
And the depths of despair
But the only reason that it hurts
Is cuz deep down you care

Cuz from where I'm from, with you today
The only way you make it through,
Is finding strength, in making space
Inside the love inside of you

So say you mister wizard,
King of men, a friend of few
I know right now is hard,
But what is it that you will choose

Will you give up now,
Or maybe dance this dance with death
Cuz from where I'm from
The tests you face are cuz you are the best

So learn from all your yesterdays
That left you scared and hollow
And you may not be better today
But there's always tomorrow

So become the leader, for the ones
That everyone can see
For the ones you love and hug
Become the leader of your dreams
