Grieving Times

(Instrumental intro)

As the midnight chimes
Through these grieving times
Shackled down staying on the ground
When we can’t give in
No, we must never give into
All the diatribe and the innuendo
For the world outside
Should be our guide
Although it’s physical
There’s something spiritual, going on

Follow all the signs
Stay within the lines
You can again do, all you set out to
Among your old friends and the family too
In the open air or with a silent prayer
Join in the thanksgiving
Setting out again
On the lifestyle you are restoring
And welcome in the morning
Out with Nature and exploring
Celebrating the new found freedom
Now the grieving times are all over
Thankful then to be born again
As a new beginning is now dawning

Waking up again
Living our life again
Discovering, re-finding the fun
Appreciating, the world we’re living in
Tip toeing, not disturbing anything
But then we’re skipping
And now we’re all dancing
To find we are soaring
Looking down over everything
While we are wondering
Yes wondering, how did it all begin 
 
And was it on whose will
The whole world stood still
And what the suffering
And the grieving
Were all for.
