Sometimes it’s hard to find a reason
To look up and force a smile
When all your senses are telling you
It may not be worthwhile
But you'll keep your head above water
It’s not your time to drown
There’s gotta be an easy way to
Wipe off distant frowns.
Some say the only way is up
When you’re in so very deep
We both' ll be thrown a ladder
Something I expect to see.
At some point we will choose to climb
When we're ready to mend the hurt
Why should we both be satisfied
To stay knee deep in dirt.
You should know that I have promised
In time, from my mind, I'll set you free
Fill your mind until it’s time
To exit your heart’s poverty
I see your plans before me
You should know that I care
So lift yourself up until it’s time
To answer your every prayer.
