GAIL'S GARDENS

your burden is so heavy
I don't understand why
you chose to carry it
when you can fly

your darkness is so bitter
I don't understand why
you deny your light
when you can shine

I life you up, you push me down
I give a smile, you give a frown
I drink your tears, I play the clown
will you be happy if I drown?

I give you hope, you give me doubt
I give you peace, you shut me out
I take your hits, I play your fool
but if I play just by your rules

then war is all we'll share
I just want to care
because I care

your loneliness is empty
so in pours despair
welcomed and nurtured
until you're not aware

that loneliness can be full
of hope and loves light
that is what fills my dreams
on through every night

take my hand and fly with me
I'll help you remember how
just let go of the fear that holds you down
let go now

take my heart and come with me
to where loves dreams come true
just let go of the doubts that keep me out
that's all you need to do
learn (remember) how to trust
watch me trusting you

yet you persist to tell me
what I am doing wrong
I offer to carry you
you say I'm not that strong

you're angry when I'm happy
the fault, you say, is me
you never seem satisfied
without a tragedy

I lift you up, you push me down
I give a smile, you give a frown
I drink your tears, I play the clown
will you be happy if I drown?

I give you hope, you give me doubt
I give you peace, you shut me out
I take your hits, I play your fool
but if I don't play by your rules

then what is left to share
I just want to care
because I care

I don't want to fight about it anymore
I don't want to play your game of war
that's not what life is for!

if I will not stay down
no matter how you push me
would my choice not to frown
make you think less of me

and if I do not stay
to wallow in your misery
would I then betray
the trust you placed in me
