Another Sunrise

The choices we make sometimes turn out wrong
Days and nights seem to last so long
Sadness and pain begin to take control
Regret is an acid that eats away your soul

When you've given all you have to give
Then struggle to find reasons to live
Now you find your life is void of love
With your arms outstretched to the stars above

Tears flow freely as you feel the loss
There are still bridges you need to cross
Mixed with sunshine there is always rain
Mixed with loss there is always gain.

You climb that mountain. You walk that road
You unburden yourself of that heavy load
Another sunrise will come your way
New horizons will make your day.
