Applications and Aspirations Lyrics

Stacks of applications, another day

Wishing the world would just look my way

I've written my name a thousand times

Answered questions, crossed the lines

But my phone stays silent, the emails say no

It's hard to keep moving when progress feels slow

But my family whispers, Just keep trying

Their faith in me keeps hope from dying

Applications and aspirations

Carrying me through these frustrations

Every No leads to my next Yes

With family reminding me not to stress

The dinner table feels like a battlefield

Explaining dreams that I've concealed

But they listen close, they nod their heads

They tell me, You're more than the words you've read

Their love is louder than the doubt

They build me up when I'm worn out

In their belief, I see the light

Guiding me through another night

Applications and aspirations

Carrying me through these frustrations

Every No leads to my next Yes

With family reminding me not to stress

Applications may be endless

But with their love, I'm relentless
