Ups and Downs - Sheldon Boyd Reynolds

It can be dark inside

Your life can sometimes slide

One thing that does remind

Pain means you’re still alive

As much as you may try

No guarantee you’ll get by If they say so then it’s a lie

Magic beans that you should not buy

But the best thing in this life

If you can give it just a little more time

Good things do open up wide

Brief moments glorified

Some times, it helps to change your mind

Some times, the things that you want are keeping you blind

Ups and downs

Come around

Ups and downs

If you have enough time

Then what you’ll get is ups and downs

Sometimes it’s endless nights

Broken promises and tear filled eyes

Underneath a gray cloud sky

But above all that, the sun does fly

Do what you can to start to climb

Out of the hole release the binds

Not every step can turn out right

But don’t be afraid of another try

Grab a hold with all your might

Drink it down, enjoy the light

Spread your wings and take to flight

And don’t forget the beautiful sights
