I have a friend, shes crying out
so afraid, her voice is dying out
she's stuck in a valley, can't see the sun
so full of sadness she just wants to run
i wish i could show her the love that life holds
but how do i tell her what shes already been told
we follow life's crazy paths always trying to go forward
through the price of our suffering comes the sweetest reward
we aren't always happy no one's never sad
all we can do is take the good with the bad
it doesn't matter what life throws your way
what matters is how you handle that shit everyday
letting go it seems is the easy way out
fighting and writing is better no doubt
cuz with the ability to hurt comes the ability to love
the more pain you've received the more you can love
i say can because it's something you choose
but the choice must be made cuz it's easy to lose
only love can break through the pain
love is the most wonderful thing you can gain
the way out of the valley is long and hard
you may even come out emotionally scarred
but all things can eventually be healed
with love and time all wounds are sealed
if you can't make it out and your tears seem to bury you
just ask for my help and I'll try to carry you
