Should I share from my heart on the days when I’m down?
Perhaps I should wait until joy comes around.
Is it better to hide it or let others know?
It’s not a big secret that sometimes I’m low.
My soul’s a bit slower, a bit out of tune.
Today it’s not singing, it’s more of a croon.
Perhaps it’s the news, all the things seem so bad,
The anger and chaos that makes me feel sad.
Perhaps it’s the pain that’s endured by my wife.
I’ve prayed as she’s suffered for much of her life.
So much around me that I can’t control
Sometimes it gets to me and weighs on my soul.
I’m not down forever, I’m sure it won’t last.
I pray that my mood is soon part of the past.
I pray that the sunshine will brighten my day,
The Spirit of God will enlighten my way.
