JESSE EMMANUEL lyrics : "When"

They're always saying 'keep on trying'
But motivation's slowly dying
I can't even tell you where I've been

They're always saying 'don't give up girl
Soon you're gonna have the whole world
Down and honouring you on their knees'


But when, oh when do I get to draw the line, time after time
When i fail, when I fail

And when, oh when do I get to call it mine, one day I might
Get to reach my holy grail


I'm climbing up an endless ladder
And many rungs have fallen after
And I can't see the top from all the clouds

And there are people down below me
Throwing rocks and hoping only
To see me fall and not get off the ground


And if I turn and see my journey
I can see that all my learning

Has paid off and I'm already so far
But back to what lies up ahead me
Who knows how long I'll be treading

But just you wait until I raise the bar

Just wait, oh wait until I do reach the top, the struggle stops

And I smile, and I smile
Just wait, oh wait until all the aftershock, you'll feel me rock
And it was worth the while
