SOMETIMES

Sometimes you have to laugh just to keep from crying
Sometimes you have to live just to keep from dying

Sometimes you have to remind yourself just how blessed you are
Sometines you have to make a wish at 11:11 or on that one bright star

Sometimes you have to have faith everything will work out in your favor
Sometimes you have to stop & smell the roses~ take the time to savor

Sometimes I smile when inside I'm barely makin it
I have so much to be grateful for~ it doesn't mean I'm fakin it

Sometimes you have to stop & listen to the birds sing a little song
Little moments like that can make a day all right when it seemed so wrong

Sometimes you sit & listen to God as He speaks to you through the wind
Let your problems just blow away as you search for ways you can transcend

Sometimes you have to taste some blood instead of saying words you don't mean
Sometimes it's better to choose silence instead of uttering words that are obscene

Sometimes you have to stop by the cemetary to talk to your loved one & feel close
A lot of times the ones most overlooked are the times that mean the most!

You're not meant to remember that's what makes 'in the moment' so special & true
Sometimes I feel like I have this life all figured out~ I have to admit those times are few!

Sometimes you have to question people's motives and their reason
Sometimes you have to learn how to let go & realize it was just a season

Sometimes even though your circle is full, you have to let someone new in
If real recognize real, like I believe, then there is no need to pretend

Sometimes the only way to approach change is to learn how to embrace it
Like the only way to come at fear is to stand firm & just face it!
