Time

Lost as a thunderclap out on the breeze Fleeting as snowflakes on a Summer's eve This world, now, appears in desperate need of a cure And I know the answer, of that you can be sure And those who'd ignore the signs Find themselves victimized by time When all would seem lost and we would seem led astray A song in your heart will keep the darkness away I've heard it said that it's no good for a man To live out his days with too much time on his hands That sooner or later he'll fall deep in despair And bow to depression as a fated affair Give a dollar just to get a dime Some try to holler but they only whine But living a life of hope will keep that at bay A purposeful heart will keep the darkness away Life is a carousel, carefully planned Eventually we arrive right where we began So maintain your focus on the stars up above Fulfilling your dreams comes from a life full of love Each day is the way we make it It's ours if we'd only take it Look to the sun that beguiles every day A light in your heart will keep the darkness away
