Sincerely - Deb Talan

He said, «Go 'round the back way»

He said, «Avoid the road more traveled.»

He said, «Hold tight to your smile

When it’s dark outside, and you so fragile

You won’t see the ground

But it will rise beneath

You are steady on your feet

Until it hits you in the teeth.»

You will know it when you’ve gone too far;

Your sight grows dim and narrow

You cannot see the stars above you

They love you in their far away way

They ask you, sincerely, to stay

She said, «Look up, once in a while.»

She said, «Remember things that always remain;

Blossoms in the Spring, birds remember to sing

And you will do the same.»

Buildings hurtle by the train as you ride

You don’t know where, you don’t know why

All you can do is dry your eyes, cry like a little child

Sometimes it takes a while to be born
