Hands

Lost and trapped in the valley of nothing but despair

Hands held high for help and grasping nothing but air

Alone and much abandoned no one knows you're there

All have turned their backs and none seems to care

You can choose to stay down and wallow in your sorrow

Or speak words that says there is always a tomorrow

Then you will see the sunshine on a bright new day

Rise up from the valley no matter what they say

When others try their best to keep you burdened down

Rise high above their heads with a smile and not a frown

The life that you want to live is solely up to you

So get up shake off the dust and start your life anew

Despair like a vine can creep back into your life again

Loosen its hold and see the sunshine and not the rain

If you know of someone else whose back is to the ground

Take their hands and lift them up for you was also down
