I sondered
As you passed me by
I wondered
As many past goodbyes
I stiffened
As I saw you cry

Was your life
As sad as mine?

I offered
As you stopped in awe
I assured you
As your tears did fall
I listened
As you told it all

Our world of sadness
Is not so small

I let you know
I too have felt it
I too have known
The weight of existence
Upon your soul
I promise you
You're not alone

Let us go together now
I'll wipe away the tears and clouds
No longer will this strife enshroud
Our lives this way with fears and doubts

Together we are stronger
Than we could ever be alone
Please take my hand dear friend
And let us wander home

The great realization
Comedy is the remedy
It doesn't take much

Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
Thinking of people
You've met and asked
When're you done?
Who are you now?
What you've become?
Where and how?

Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
But that doesn't mean
We shouldn't ask
The people we meet
The difference we make
It's hard to adjust
To the risks we take

But perhaps,
The great perhaps
Is now
Yes, I see it
This is true
As surely as
Our sky is blue
One step
Then another

Then another

I believe in you

Is this the end?
The great finale?
If all is quiet and well
I'll believe it then
Though if calamity still lingers
It cannot be so
I'll stay
Until the wrongs have been righted
This is my promise to you

Sometimes
It's the sudden collapse
Of all we hold dear
That ferries us to realization
