We Will Get By And Survive (Jerry❤)

We Will Get By And Survive (Jerry❤)

***

I didn't want to go away
It was a dark dark day
When I left you
There was no other way

It wasn't out of lack of love in my heart.
No, sometimes no matter what you do or how much you love someone
No matter what you do sometimes
It doesn't seem to make a difference or it makes things worse

Sometimes I feel trapped
I  run up against another brick wall
I feel like
I'm so small

I took on the world
And all that I saw
I lived my life as experience
An experience for all
Took life as straight drink
Followed my own path
No need to think

I got lost so many times
I never thought I was gonna come back
Well I've been to Hell
I've lost my mind
But I tell you all
It's still possible to survive

We can do so much more
Then we ever realized
When we call upon the love
That through the darkness shines

See the love shining down
Like a shooting star to my heart
Everybody's blazing fire
Feel like I'm in heaven
Floating upon a cloud

I look down to everybody
And feel so much love
Whole wide world spinning around
We can let go of our fears
We can put away those Lost Years

There's No Use to hold onto those fears
It's a new beginning

Beat yourself up for too long
But that's okay
It's now time to stop

Because it's A New Path.
It's A New Path you charge

Oh, I know my song
I too was afraid
How much life
I did waste

I hurled myself into an abyss
But I felt I had no choice.
If I didn't, I'd give up my life
I had too much living to do
No way. I was going to stay in strife
Now, wherever I roam
I love all I encounter
Wherever I roam
I call my home
Down here in the Promised Land
Climbing Jacob's Ladder
