there are times when i sit and wonder,
is my life such a thing worth living for,
reach a point of decision where i must decide,
pull the trigger or open up the door.
there are times when i feel love,
a love that i dreamed all those years ago,
imperfect man, imperfect woman,
sit in silence watch my lifeline flow,
watch so many lives fall into the abyss,
i see my own fall down, lose it’s way,
take a pill, drink my fill,
yesterday has gone, tomorrow’s just another day.
somewhere a life, it has a reason,
it struggles through and it carries on,
nowhere to go, yet a path it will follow,
a sweet child in time, just a song.
