it's time to go now
and there's nothing we can do to change
and beside, it's only for a little while
some would say
it's easy if you try
just softly close your eyes and breathe
take it all in stride
put your trust in neither god nor me
don't cry
don't cry now baby
i know just how you feel
but there's no room for sadness
in things that are not real
you always used to say
you could discern what they were wrong about
but all along you stayed on your knees
underneath the one you should've done without
i guess the water seems rough right now
i guess it always has
but you can almost see a soft patch ahead
so keep on keeping on
but why? there's no real point
and my stomach hurts so bad
i can breathe
i breathe for no real reason at all
it's easier than you think
you have done this a thousand times
it's not all that hard to free yourself
it's not all that hard to sing out loud
it's time
to go now
and there's nothing we can do to change
and though i'll miss you greatly
i will take it all in stride
