THERE ARE TIMES
(September 6th, 2004)

There are times
When life starts to drag me down
And everything seems impossible
Life's just going nowhere
Running on empty

And there are times
When the despair begins to overwhelm me
Darkness is all I can predict
Life's full of nothing
Nothing to live for

There are times
When the troubles seem too big
And they threaten to drown me
Life's just too big
There's nothing I can do

And then... something happens

Then I see your face
And read the words you've written
Do you know how much they mean?
To read the poems about me
To know how much you care

Then I hear your voice
And I'm filled with a greater joy
The world seems full of life
Life's going where I want it
Everything to live for

Then... everything begins to change

There are times
When life seems so perfect
And everything is possible
Nothing can stop me ever
I'm invincible

And there are times
When it seems love will always triumph
Over despair and darkness
And you and I together
Can walk these dark paths forever

There are times
When everything seems so right
And I think how foolish I was
To think that things could be wrong
No, life is perfect
