Jeremy's Unsteady Steps

Lyrics

[Verse]
Jeremy stands in the gym's hollow glow
Counting reps with his voice soft and low
A trainer
A guide
With hands that inspire
But his own storm brews
Sparks tangled in wire

[Chorus]
Seize the day
Oh Jeremy’s cry
But the dark skies roll in
They don't tell you why
Muscle and might
Yet a bend in the bow
Jeremy falters
Struck low by the throes

[Verse 2]
He stumbles mid-cue
Like the world pulls the pin
Hands shake like leaves
Yet he fights it within
He rises
Unbroken
Though etched with the pain
"I’ll lift more tomorrow
" he mocks at the rain

[Chorus]
Seize the day
Oh Jeremy’s cry
But the dark skies roll in
They don't tell you why
Muscle and might
Yet a bend in the bow
Jeremy falters
Struck low by the throes

[Bridge]
The mirrors don't tell of the weight that he bears
Of sparks in his brain and the crowded stares
He wears his own war like chalk on the floor
Each time he falls
He comes back a bit more

[Verse 3]
Spotting the lifters
His voice cuts the air
“I ain't no quitter; I've been down
I don't care.”
The seizures may steal but they don’t claim his fight
Jeremy’s battle burns deep in the night
