How much can you endure?
Have to keep moving
every step of the way
How dearly do we have to pay?
To have some comfort in our lives
Hours pass but drag their feet
pain marches on, there’s no retreat
try so hard not to complain
at times sadness like a shadow
always just at your side
you can’t run away
and you can’t hide
take a pill and hope for relief
just a few hours, maybe more
paint on your smile
and say a little prayer
give me just one day
I need a break for awhile
