The Struggle

The dark cloud is coming down from overhead
To drown us in pools of sorrow to join the dead
The child has not been forgotten but has not been seen
Fraudulent feelings come down like endless rain so it seems

Smile, I will be here
Don't let the anger come down on you
I can't wait to feel the excitement
And I will be here with open arms

Smile, I will be here
Don't let the anger come down on you
I can't wait to feel the excitement
And I will be here with open arms

I swear to you that I'm not a bad guy
I am only a victim of a lie
When I thought that I was fulfilling a need
I was only causing the struggle
Never would I have done this had I known
This pain that haunts me and the shame that taunts me
So now here we are years later convinced that you will never be near

Smile, I will be here
Don't let the anger come down on you
I can't wait to feel the excitement
And I will be here with open arms
