Times Like These

In times like these

In times like those

What will be will be

And so it goes

And it always goes on and on

On and on it goes

And there has always been laughing crying birth and dying

Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break

And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture

But then hurt from time to time like these

And times like those

And what will be will be

And so it goes

And there will always be stop and go and fast and slow

Action Reaction sticks and stones and broken bones

Those for peace and those for war

And god bless these ones not those ones

But these ones made times like these

And times like those

What will be will be

And so it goes

And it always goes on and on

On and on it goes

But somehow I know it won't be the same

Somehow I know it will never be the same
