When the sky is dirty grey When my child is so far away When it hurts and I feel let down I'm gonna try to turn it around I'll try to love what's given to me Even if it isn't what I want it to be I'll try to love this world that I see Even if it's not the way I think it should be I'm so tired, I'm so sore Not sure if I can give any more I can still have a song in my heart To pull me back together when I'm falling apart Without darkness there can be no light And each new day follows the night So when the horrors of life close in Perhaps I'll find the lesson within If not for this no stars could burn If not for this no world could turn Just lonely gulfs of vapor and dust Let me say yes let it be as it must
