Why am I doing this?

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things
I'm finding are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that's always there

Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last.

Do you run through each day On the fly?
When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores Running through your head?
You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last.

Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time To call and say,"hi"
You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away.
Life is not a race. Do take it slower
Hear the music Before the song is over.

Twisting to the music
Bending to the beat
Leap in the air
To come down again
Muscles stretching
Arms twirling
Toes flexing
Lights burning
Music swelling
Dresses swirling
Hands holding
Noses touching
Spinning around
Dance with me

One would wonder
One would think
To stand at the brink
One foot on the edge of the crevasse
Poised to fall
One needs balance
One needs love
Pull me back from the edge
Dry my tears
One needs to breathe
To face the world

To right
The wrong
You wrong the right
What’s left of the right
Once it’s wrong?

Today I laughed
Today I cried
Tonight was the night
My innocence died
I saw the wreck
I saw the blood
I saw the car stuck in the mud
Is this the world?
Is it this cruel?
Did you have to break
That simple rule?

My life is falling apart,
There’s nothing but pain in my heart.
The joy that used to be with me
Is no longer visible to see.
How can I keep going this way
When I don’t even want to wake up today?
I feel lonely, lost and empty.
And this way, I hate to be.
The stormy season is here
And now there is no reason to cheer.
I’ve always wondered why
God happens to send these seasons;
And then something I will receive,
And then I will believe.
God’s love will last forever,
And I know He will forget me never.
Now I know that I need to look to Him;
And before I end my life,
It needs to begin

You're My friend,
my companion,
through good times
and bad
my friend,
my buddy,
through happy and sad,
beside me you stand,
beside me you walk,
you're there to listen,
you're there to talk,
with happiness,
with smiles,
with pain and tears,
I know you'll be there,
throughout the years!
