FERRIS WHEEL

                                                  My life seems so grim,
                                                  and slowly draws a frown,
                                                  and when things start to look up,
                                                  again it falls down.
                                                  .
                                                  Problems I brought onto myself,
                                                  and problems brought onto me,
                                                  does anyone know what I'm going through,
                                                  please tell me that you see.
                                                  .
                                                  Days go on like years,
                                                  with nights so lonely and cold,
                                                  I am so very young,
                                                  yet I feel so very old.
                                                  .
                                                  I am so very scared,
                                                  I have so many fears,
                                                  and without you there for me,
                                                  it brings on even more tears.
                                                  .
                                                  You couldn't possibly know,
                                                  the pain I'm going through,
                                                  and you'd run the other direction,
                                                  even if you knew.
                                                  .
                                                  So many choices each day,
                                                  that I'd rather not choose,
                                                  'cause it all seems like a game,
                                                  that I can't win or lose.
                                                  .
                                                  I'm tired of playing hide and seek,
                                                  no, I don't want to race,
                                                  It's time to take on my problems,
                                                  here and now, face to face.
                                                  .
                                                  But I can't do it alone,
                                                  I'm just waiting for your care,
                                                  just stand by my side,
                                                  let me know you're there.
                                                  .
                                                  I'm not asking for too much,
                                                  it's not a pot of gold,
                                                  just a friendship everlasting,
                                                  one that never grows old.
                                                  .
                                                  And with this friendship,
                                                  I can go on,
                                                  and all my fears,
                                                  they will be gone.
                                                  .
                                                  If we have this friendship,
                                                  and my love you truly feel,
                                                  please push that big red button,
                                                  that stops this ferris wheel
