My Woollen Lullaby

There was a time when words just came
We closed our eyes shut out all pain
And sang a song
That beckoned in a new tomorrow
The days were long
Despite the rain their brightness
Shone on all the same
And bore a song that kept alive
Thoughts of yesterday

And from these tunes we reminisce
Fresh tales emerge now from that mist
Of clouded hours lost in time
Such as this one
So what of laughs and endless fun
The certainty of more to come
Take a breath calm the mind
My woollen lullaby

Recall a time when words had failed
Knew the score yet were unable
To change the cards we'd dealt ourselves
It needs perspective
Stuck in a rut a mind possessed
Introspection obsessed
Close our eyes to all around
As if we're special

Don't forget you're not alone
All deep down searching for home
So drop your guard and freely roam
Take a breath calm the mind
With woollen lullabies

There'll be a time to take a breath
There'll be a time to start afresh
There'll be a time to sing aloud
A new tomorrow
There'll be a time when you are heard
There'll be a time far more absurd
There'll be a time you realise
Your prayers were answered

There'll be a time to take a breath
There'll be a time to start afresh
There'll be a time to sing aloud
A new tomorrow
There'll be a time when you are heard
There'll be a time far more absurd
There'll be a time you realise
Your prayers were answered

So what of laughs and endless fun
The certainty of more to come
Take a breath calm the mind
Take a breath and calm the mind
So what of laughs and endless fun
The certainty of more to come
Take a breath calm the mind
Take a breath and calm the mind
So what of laughs and endless fun
The certainty of more to come
Take a breath calm the mind
Take a breath and calm the mind
So what of laughs and endless fun
The certainty of more to come
Take a breath
Calm the mind
