Rough Life
i know life for you has been rough
and you think you have had enough
but please try to hold on tight
and maybe everything will soon be alright
i can't see what lies ahead
so i'll pray to God instead
that you don't want to die
and make everyone who loves you cry
i wish that you were feeling okay
and i wish i could make all your pain go away
i want to see you smile
because you haven't done that in awhile
look at all we've been through together
and when you had promised me forever
so let all your anger go
and let your spirit grow
you were meant to have a long life to live
and you have a lot of love to give
you have made it this far
so be the strong person i know you are
and you will see that i love you
and it will always be true
know how much i care
and know i will always be there
