Sometimes things happen in life / Things we do not understand
We think and wonder why this has happened to us / So many troubles we just cannot mend
These things they control us, taking over our heads / our cheeks stained wet with tears
All it does is get harder and harder / as we try to face our fears
We stand up tall, heads up high / trying to stop it all now
But the struggle is all too hard for us / we fall, minds wondering how
The dark is all too scary / Sadness has gotten us down
We try to remember the happier times / But our once smiles are turned into frowns
There is light at the end of each tunnel they say / and yet we cannot comprehend
That if there was help at the end of each rainbow / then why has life come to an end
But all bad things will soon weaken / you know the memories will never fade
We just need to search, a while it may take
For a better and brighter day, yes,
For a bigger and lighter day
