The Time
I can recall a time when everything was okay
when the pressures of life didn't affect me in any way
I can remember a time when everything was alright
when I never had to try to be the winner of this fight
I remember a time when things seemed to be fine
when from this world I had no desire to decline
I can remember a time when I was actually happy
when now in reality I'm just sad and snappy
I can remember a time when saying no was an ease
when all I do now, is things for other people to please
I can remember a time when my house was my home
when presently all my feet want to do is roam
I can recall a time when friends could be found
when in reality-they're a bit thin on the ground
I can remember a time when peace reigned in my mind
when at the moment certainty is hard to be defined
I can recall the saying-burying your head in the sand
when all I really need is a helping hand
