Tell Me

by Dan Cousins ©

Tell me that today more people laughed than cried
And more children were born than died.
Tell me I won’t go crazy if you were not at my side
And the world won’t get dizzy from spinning round.

Tell me that today more love was found than lost
And the sacrifices were worth the cost
Tell me I can give my all and never exhaust
And I’m not gonna fall if I look down.

If I don’t go to sleep
Will I ever have to wake?
If I ignore it all
Will it all disappear?
If I don’t hear the fall
Did it really make a sound?
If I grew wings
Could I fly away?

Tell me that today there was more hope than fear
And tomorrow I wouldn’t rather be anywhere but here
And when I turn to you, you will always be near
So you can end the darkness with your light.

Tell me that today, in reality
There was a lot more good I just didn’t see
Tell me I’ll always believe what I tell you to tell me
And you will always lie to me out of love.
