Ma’ my world is folding, and the ground give’s way beneath my feet please hold on, hold on she... said
When the blows keep Coming son, and you can't find relief she said hold on hold on please.
This life is overwhelming, this world will make you scream, these times will pass she swore to me.
They'll be times you act in anger, times you'll fall and bleed but hold on hold on for me.
No we, we may not have all the joys in this life we used to love, but hold on hold on son.
You have, much more than you see right now, still me and a cracking smile so stay strong, stay strong for me .
This life is overwhelming, this world will make you scream, these times will pass she swore to me.
They'll be times you act in anger, times you'll fall and bleed but hold on hold on for me.
The trick is in your attitude my boy,
This world is exactly what you make it!
You have a choice each morning when you leave your bed.
All these things are only in your head alone.
This life is rich in colour, this life it lives and breathes.
Our time is short enjoy it please, she said
Son you are amazing, my flesh and blood and free so hold on hold on for me.

They Say.

Face like stone but they all know, I'm not feeling so good.
You do not see, you could not know; your boy is breaking up.
It's casting shadows in my soul, I want you back I want you whole.
I never thought I'd ever see you in a place like this,
you do not belong this should not be, these words and guilt's are haunting me.
The aching sears within my soul, I want you back I want you whole.
They say, They say "its better this way" Dad, They say, They say "He's happy at least, Lad". Its hard to take, Dad.
Lucid moments shake you bad, unsettles you, you cry.
The moments of your clarity, you see the horrors that i see.
When anger stirs deep inside my soul, If there's a God why do we suffer all these things at all?
They say, They say "its better this way" Dad, They say, They say "He's happy at least, Lad". Its hard to take, Dad.
Spoken Words: Gerald Diamond; recounts how the ghost of his dad saved him during a collapse within Haig pit.
They say, They say "its better this way" Dad, They say, They say "He's happy at least, Lad". Its hard to take, Dad.

Time.

Busy streets, December Rain all rushing on but i don't even know where I should be.
Sometimes I’d like to stop the clocks, turn back the hands and talk with you again, when things were different then.
Listen to everything you’d say, not interrupt or walk away, take your advice and understand you always were the better man.
Pray for time like its all you've got, because if your too late then that's your lot
And you’ll pray and pray for more, you will pray and pray for more.
Pray for time like its all you've got, because if your too late then that's your loss
And you’ll pray and pray for more, you will pray and pray for more.
Bang! here comes another day, the dreams of last night slowly fade away, I dreamt about you.
On holiday down by the beech you dug a moat in the sand round my feet, always looking out for me.
Sometimes it's like I won't believe, I close my eyes so I can't see, the bitterness that rules our whole; it’s spinning out of our control.
Pray for time like its all you've got, because if your too late then that's your loss
And you’ll pray and pray for more, you will pray and pray for more.
Give me hope in a hopeless case, I'm just another lost soul who needs a break
And you’ll pray and pray for more, you will pray and pray for more.
Its futile, it fails you, it's too late, I’m losing you.
Give me hope in a hopeless case, I'm just another lost soul who needs a break
And you’ll pray and pray for more, you will pray and pray for more.
Give me hope in a hopeless case, I'm just another lost soul who needs a break
And you’ll pray and pray for more, you will pray and pray for more.
