the sun left a sign at her door
of missing dreams while sleeping
an echo of possibilities
of a life of a life worth keeping
a stab of contradiction
a box of voices screaming
a story stranger than fiction
eyes stutter while sleeping

She climbs her jacobs ladder
trailing ribbons of deceit
hopes and dreams lay far behind her
each rung a lesson in defeat

everywhere she turns her faces smile as one
a picture perfect reason where tears on call can run
everywhere she turns her faces smile as one
aspirations seething where hidden agendas run
this life of Sarah Stevens

Sarah turns a shade of grey
and beauty is a fading memory
her faces turn and pray
humble in the face humility
in dignity she dies
a heart no longer beating
a womans world of lies
of a life worth keeping

everywhere she turns her faces  smile as one
a picture perfect reason where tears on call can run
everywhere she turns her faces smile as one
aspirations seething where hidden agendas run
this life of Sarah Stevens
this death of Sarah Stevens
