Life's More Than It Seems (A New Sad Song)

I wish you'd met me in the light, before the day turned into night

You wouldn't have to sell your dreams, life's more than it seems

There's care and love, there's hope that's due, I'd give it all to you

But now you're out there all alone, in the cold, your heart of stone

Before the harsh world made its claim, if only we'd played a different game

You'd stand so tall, not feel so small, together we could have it all

We'd walk the path where love is free, where you're you and I'm just me

In a world so rough, my word's not enough, to pull you from the tide

How I wish the past could bend, bring to you the love I send

If time reversed, our roles exchanged, I'd shelter you from pain

So though you're lost in survival's cost, imagine a life regained

Where every tear is wiped away, and we'll dance to love's sweet refrain
