Embraceing Problems
JUST FOR TONIGHT,
SHUT THE WORLD OUT,
SHUT OUT ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
AND SET YOUR HEARTS’ EMOTIONS FREE
FOR TONIGHT IS YOUR NIGHT TO
ENJOY, AND TO BE YOURSELF
YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
TO YOUR PROBLEMS, OR YOUR HEARTS’ EMOTIONS
BECAUSE THEY’VE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF
ENJOU THE BRIGHT FULL MOON
THAT’S SHINING ON YOUR
BEAUTIFUL FACE AND COUNT THE
STARS WITH ME – ONE BY ONE
SEE THEM DANSING ALONG YOUR
SWEET KIND MELODY OF FAITH AND HOPE
LET THE QUIET NIGHT EMBRACE YOUR
KINDNESS SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL SAVE AND ECCEPTABLE
BUT KEEP UP WITH TIME
BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T, YOUR PROBLEMS WILL,
AND YOUR HEART WILL THEN BE SHATTERED
INTO A MILLION PIECES OF NEVER ENDING PAIN
