Daniel I Brown - Altitude Sickness

Don't worry...
Soon time will expire
and the winds that blew you in
will lift you back to the place you were...
before all this,
don't get too anxious...

your pain is only temporary
time isn't nearly as lasting as you would believe
and could always be worse,
don't hold yourself back...

we've wasted so much time
holding on and standing here
waiting for what?
nothing waits for us, so we must
do ourselves the same favor
don't run...

fear isn't that frightening
everything you need is here,
just open your eyes
don't die...

soon things will change
and the person you remember being... before all this
will show up to save you
and all the things that seem so tense
will melt away into nothing,
while the skies fill with light,
and your soul falls back in line
