For a Friend

Think life has given you all you can take / the cards dealt to you are no piece of cake / no exit in your sight / simply drowning and losing the fight / the pain seems to be so unreal / but yet at least you still feel / This world seems evil and unjust / That you think leaving it is a must / To end the pain / In your mind is to gain / How easy it would be to just dissolve / Oh but tell me what that solves / Oh friend I beg you not to hide / Allow me to stand by your side / I do not know your misery / But trust that I do have my own history / And in that you may just see / That there is no need to flee / You must know that you are never alone / And to discover life you must allow Love to be shown / The pain will not simply disappear / and it will take more than one tear / But put down the noose / and begin to set your demons loose / Break the chains that hold you tight / and do fight back with all your might / Join up with those who are all around / For your story is not an unfamiliar sound / This world is full of hurt / But together we can slowly wash away the dirt / Oh friend please hear my plea / I just want you to truly see / That even in the darkest hour / there is no need to climb that tower / I know you think that you cannot cope / but truly I say to you there is hope / For life is not meant to be this way / So step down with little delay / Come join your army of allies / and let us show you where hope lies / Oh friend just look to heaven above / and there there you will find Love
