It's Time

It’s Time By BJ Welsh The sun shines brightly each morn’ Life goes on although the heart is torn Only you wished for rain instead Exposure to light is what you’ve dread Breathing in life that you’ve been given Spitting it back out to those who are livin’ It’s time, you think, to worry no more There’s only always silence at the door The shades don’t work as you think they should Sun rays seeping through as only mother nature could What more could you do to keep things dark? Close your eyes, go ahead, you’ve left your mark It’s time, you think, to worry no more There’s surely silence at the door The mind works in mysterious ways Your paralyzed and in a daze The things you lost have never been yours Borrowed for a while, so take a pause It’s time to repay that long ago debt Promises made and you thought kept You followed a map uncharted at best A life re-invented and put through the test It’s time, you thought, to worry no more But there’s no more silence at the door
