Hold your heart

Do you recall those youthful years?
As simple as life could possibly be.
Laughter, stories, and dreams were shared.
As soon as you saw the sun, you felt liberated.

Well, there comes a time when you have to face reality and learn that staying beneath the covers won't ever be sufficient.
I am familiar with those times when it seems impossible to continue.
Nothing could be more erroneous than to conclude that life is not worth living.

Those times when everything is so difficult
Just enough to get you out of bed.
You are overcome by depression.
You're having frightened ideas go through your head.

The times when you feel so damaged
And the fragments keep disintegrating.
Your sky darkens and becomes stormy.
Too much suffering for this tender, weighed-down heart.

You think there isn't a solution.
They refer to life as a game or a mystery.
And in your darkest hour, I'll show you the way to the light.
The end of the tunnel is in sight.

when you believed that perhaps this was it.
I assure you that there is lovely sunshine.
On this gloomy road's angular curves and turns.
There is still happiness in this area, even though it may not always seem like way.

And you must understand that it requires a little confidence.
When life knocks you down so low, I've always been there for you and I always will be.
Just have faith in me.

Therefore, think back to those youthful years.
As simple as life could possibly be.
Laughter, stories, and dreams were shared.
As soon as you saw the sun, you felt liberated.

Now that you're in your lowest point,
Turn out the light and go under the covers.
My darling, close your eyes and dream.
Tonight, allow me to hold your heart.
