Why cant life be easy
Why must it be so hard
Every days a challenge
Every day is marred
By something small or petty
Or something very large
Is it something that I do
Or is it something planned
Is there someone out there
My life in anothers hands
I try my best to be good
But things don’t go my way
I get into a depressed mood
Which spoils my whole day
Just when I thing that life’s alright
Along comes Mr Gloom
His black cloud forms to block the light
And fills me full of doom
The darkness lingers in my mind
It grips my heart with fear
Until the light again I find
My eyes are full of tears
Depression makes life difficult
But the light makes the darkness flee
It shines through very slowly
Once again making me free
