Analysis of Feel it (Full version)



“What I have seen in my LIFE, some could never understand. What goes through this mind is beyond the thoughts of man. I see a deep dark hole falling to the edge of nowhere. Can you see it? Can you feel it? Or do you even care?

Where are we going? Where will we be? I just don’t know; can you tell me? Am I a puppet? Is this life predestined?
Do I hold the future in the palm of my hands?

The things I have heard in my LIFE, some would never believe.
If I told you of things I've seen, you would not receive.
I am a h- you man, I know this much is true.
I am no better than him, or her, or them, or you.
I have failed time and again, but have learned that mistakes are just a way to begin again.

Where are we going? What will you do? I just don’t know I can’t tell you. Are we just puppets? Are our lives predestined? Or do we hold the future in the palm of our hands?

I've found that:

You can do it if you focus and always try.
You can do anything let me tell you the reason why.
Believe in your heart that you are special just being you
and you will make every wish every dream come true.
Believe in your soul that you can conquer this world then you'll shine bright like a gym, diamond, or a pearl.
Believe in your mind that you will overcome the hurt and sorrow.
Shine your light today and I promise you a bright tomorrow.
Keep the faith don't let this crazy life bring you down.
Heed what I say then you will pick yourself off the ground
I’m here to tell you I’m no better than you,  if you believe me my friend you will make your dreams come true
just feel it.”
