Clouds Pass By

Raw emotions screaming from my soul
Can't seem to find the path that we should go
Every inch we move seems like a mile backwards

Treading water through an open sea
Broken hearted souls in misery
With waves so large and the current getting faster

All we want to do is get along
Yet it's just so tough to carry on
Did we really bite off more than we could chew?

So many memories enwrap our souls
Our hearts so big, our plates so full
But no matter what - I need a friend in you.

(Chorus)
We talk and we laugh
We fight and we cry
With every teardrop that falls
A little piece of us dies
But still we will survive
There is light in the distance
It's time to make amends
We can't be our own resistance.

The sunlight is replaced by clouds
The thunder covers up all other sounds
Stormy weather caused by static we create

Interference from the bolts of lightning
We're at the brink and it's quite frightening
Maybe now it's time for us to wipe the slate

Lately we have been so overcast
Must be the remnants of days since passed
Clouds dissipate - of that there is no doubt

There is so much blue sky left to see
You're the friend that I want there with me
The storm is over. We can surely work this out.

(Chorus)
We talk and we laugh
We fight and we cry
With every teardrop that falls
A little piece of us dies
But still we will survive
There is light in the distance
It's time to make amends
We can't be our own resistance.

I love the optimism and hope in this piece. It displays just how buoyant the human soul can be.
