someone told me the light was gone,
no hopes, no dreams, no rhyme or reason,
only sorrow lingered.

i asked someone to tell me why,
the sky was dark and the fear was thick
only sorrow lingered.

someone told me the joy was gone,
the loneliness crept in, the warmth was out,
only sorrow lingered.

i begged someone to bring it back to me,
the hope, the dreams, the rhyme and reason,
no more sorrows to linger.

someone told me wake up and see,
only you can change your reality,
only happiness lingers.
