Take Courage

Take the rings off your fingers
 as if they were tears
 and find a new kind of beauty
 to put a silver lining on your golden years
 All your clever talk and your glamour
 bright lies you don't hear anymore
 You've gone so far out
 all you want is the tide to take you back to the shore
 Take courage
 Take courage said the sign
 You used to wait for it every morning
 Now you are looking so dumb
 and they don't see you standing there
 Trying to figure out why all your promises
 left you hanging in mid-air
 And you lost your war of words,
 but your heart was strong.
 You said, "the dirt can have my pretty things,
 but to the earth my heart does not belong.
 if we could walk without our crutches would they have anyting to see.
 take the rings off your fingers. as if they were tears
 Cause all the diamonds are hollow and ring painfully in our ears.
 and if you want someone to help you
 don't get carried away.
 Last thing you need right now is a lesson in humility.
 take courage, take courage
 said the sign.
 you used to wait for it
 every morning, every morning, every morning
 but now you see that it was just another woman.
