There are things in life that hurt the soul
and things that make you see,
There are things that make you laugh sometimes
then those that set you free.

There are people who you just don't get
and those that make you cry,
There are people you know you will always love
then those who've said goodbye.

​ There are times when life seems too much
and times when you're at your end,
And  times when in the strangest place
You find you have a friend.

So take these gifts that life has given
From them you will gain,
hold tightly to all the happiness
and learn from all the pain.
