Too Dark to See

If you can still smile at the world
When the world is not smiling at you
When dark smoke billows, and the clouds close in
The orchard of life is grey and barren
Time stands still, you must search from within

You’re approaching the crossroads
But the view is so hazy
There’s lack of direction, confusion sets in
No compass to guide you, no hand reaching for you
So follow your instincts, and your search will begin

With hands that are shaking, you grasp at the future
Difficult to grip, a story yet told
An unknown horizon, a new time is dawning
You look over your shoulder
Down the river you’re sold

Away from the chaos, the clutter, the madness
You return to the point, where no one else can find
The feelings, emotions, beliefs and your values
By closing your eyes, you have opened your mind
