In These Times

These are the times

Tears fill the back of your eyes

These are the times

The birds migrate

Across the skies

These are the times

What hope you had you forget

These wicked times

You're bound to feel

All sanity is lost

In these times everyone needs love

In these times do you pray to God

In these times everyone needs comfort

And would welcome a hand to hold

Compassion is the fire

That burns the hurt

That pains the soul

And though my eyes are so polluted

By the sight of lost desires

I can see you standing by

This is my fear

That distance will come between us

And it could mean nothing

Nothing

To get from here to there

We own the world

And everything that's in it

Let our love shine

Like glistening raindrops

Resting on a rose

In these times celebrate our love

In these times let's be thankful of

All the days we can spend together

And I'm happy to hold your hand

Your passion is the food

That feeds the hunger in my heart

And now my eyes are clearly open

No more longing for the past

Now I have you in these times

In these times everyone needs love

In these times do you pray to God

In these times everyone needs comfort

And would welcome a hand to hold

Your passion is the fire

That burns the hurt

That pains the soul

And though my eyes are so polluted

By the sight of lost desires

Good to have you in these times
