Release

Fluttering softly like a butterfly
That turns to paper snips
Floating slowly down

Silently,

Silence. Not a sound, not a breath,
Nothing moves.

Then she starts,

spinning on the tip of a toe
Sailing, soaring,
Arms reaching up high
Facing the sky,
Eyes closed, breathing in the stillness

I'm here, I live, I love
I'm here, I live, I dare
I'm here, I live, I see
I'm here, I live,
and I stop

The swishing comes to a rest
Brushing her ankles,
It's life

sudden pauses,
a second chance,
Or maybe a dozen.
stop..
And silently trudge away
From where the snips still lay

It's alright

It's alright,

Though lonely and friendless you may seem

You are one showered with blessing my dear

It's alright,

Time might be changing, days might be dark

But don't forget there always shines a constant light

It's alright,

And though it may be you've had quite a loss

Do not forget to see what you have now, and had not

It's alright,

Life isn't so bad, if your faith shines so bright

And don't forget to have someone who tells you,

It's alright

It's alright

What can I do?

What can I do, oh, what can I do?
I'm only human, aren't you too?

I'm not superhuman. Believe it, it's true!
What can I do, oh, what can I do?
 
Life's reality. Don't think it's a dream!
And things are not as easy as you make them seem!
 
There will be times when you won't know what to do.
There will be times when it seems you can't make it through
 
And when there are times when you can't make it through
All you can do is sit and ask: what can I do?
 
What can I do, oh, what can I do?
And you're in the lowest spirit you're getting to
 
What can I do, oh, what can I do?
Can anybody out there just tell me what to do?
