The turn around

Oh hey it came to me today
For lately I've thinking
It seems to me that I'm dying
And it's been happening for some time
Now, I know that time is flying
Fleeting past us despite all of our trying
We can't slow it down or make it stop
We can't do it for love
We can't do it the name of God
But, oh hey it came to me today
Because lately I've been thinking
It seems obvious I am dying
And it's been happening for some time
And it's happening today
Slowly death creeps
Like acid it seeps
Everything it takes it keeps
It weakens my in the knees
It strengthens with all of my pleas
There's no more innocence
I've done and said it
Dear God
It came to me today
But I've been thinking all along
That I am dying
I have said and done things
I have taken you in vain
I have forgotten my faith
In my own words
I should be forgiving
even in pain
But I felt alone and forsaken
My mind and body were swallowed and taken
By the anger and fear
Of the uncertainty of here
When it came to me today
That I may be dying
But I'm still here
I may have pain
and my finger on the trigger
but the love I feel is bigger
I feel so alone
but I can still smile
even through all of the pain
I'm not alone it seems
None of us will ever be the same
We all grow old and have pain
But when it yours it means more
It hurts much more
Then you can explain
It pains you more
than a neighbour next door
Compassion and sympathy
don't make it go away
they don't really mean a thing
until you can say you've been there
and felt things the same way
And it makes you say
Hey, I was thinking
And it came to me today
It feels so good to be alive
Let's celebrate another good day
We can go out for a walk
Or grab a coffee
Still it's a good day
No matter what way
As long as we're alive and well
until you can say you've been there
and felt things the same way
And it makes you say
Hey, I was thinking
