A Time For Healing

Close your eyes
Dry your tears
It's time to count the cost of
All your fears
You knew that this had to happen
Sooner if not later

Now they're gone
No more words
Nothing left to be
Said or heard
Sit very still and just listen
As the silence gathers

And they'll tell you that your life goes on
And you won't believe it
And they'll say that it's part of a plan
And that won't relieve it
Not the pain - not the hurt
Not the emptiness inside
That keeps on growing

Rest a while
Won't be long
Whatever doesn't kill you
Makes you strong
Pick up the small broken pieces
Even though they're scattered

Steel yourself
Bar the door
It never rains but, damn,
It sure does pour
Take all the time that you need
It'll soon be better

Because everyone needs time to heal
But it takes some doing
Then you'll get up on your feet again
And find out where you're going
So relax - take a breath
Bind the wounds as best you can
It's your time for healing

When you're done
We'll still be here
Family's not going
Anywhere
When you come out once again
Open up to your friends
Knowing that never ends

We'll dance this dance together
