The World Turns

It’s funny how your world turns

One day you are walking on air

And then suddenly you are flat on your face

One moment of weakness

Changed your life for ever

You thought you wanted a quick fix

But now it’s turned into a nightmare

Your world has fallen apart

And life just seems so far away

And you are trying hard to get it back

You want this nightmare to end

You don’t want to be vulnerable and scared

You just want to be normal again

I pray for strength, energy and protection

To help you find your feet again

I just want you to smile again

I love you and hate to see you hurt

I want to wipe away your tears

And mend your broken heart

However, I can’t do that I am not able

All I can do is pray

And be here to help you through

Just pick up the phone

And cry on my shoulder

I’ll be your friend to see you through
