There’s a time when time stands still
and gives a pause to our dream’s will
leaving us to find the life we want.

There’s a time when fogs do lift
and reprieves that empty loneliness.
Somehow, hope’s something that’s forgot.

There’s a time when eve fades ‘way
delivering down a whole new day
when we think the night is just too dark.

Like a time I knew before
there is a life beyond this door...
but it’s vague and lost in my heart.

The scales are tipping to and fro
reminding that there’s life to go...
Wondering how this story will so end.

There’s a time when life just is.
There is no reason to this When...
We’re just an echo beyond life’s bend.

So as I have in days gone by
I know that I should not ask why
when the day sighs that it must go.

I find that life is better when
we break the wall and let them in
for life is but one, continuous show.
