When the world around you
Has changed from blue skies to grey
Full of storm clouds that are coming down your way
You just watch, helpless as they gather
Turning even the now grey skies into black
Darkness is now forming all around you
You’re feeling helpless, frightened, don’t know what to do
There seem to be no rays of light or hope
Left in this frightening new world for you
When the world around you
Has changed from blue, to grey, to black
Dark shadows now standing all around you
Even the dim light of hope seems to be so far away
Old friends that you always thought would be true
To give you support along the way, are untrue
Turning their backs, walking away into the darkness of the shadows
You’ll always remember that look on their faces as they turned away
But somehow, somewhere in the darkness
When you hold out no hope anymore
A kind word, an outstretched hand of friendship
Comes from somewhere that you would never expect
Somewhere in the darkness
The unexpected light of hope shines through
Somewhere in the darkness
You find a new friend who is true, someone who will support you
Through all that you have to now go through
Somewhere in the darkness, with your new friend
You find new strength to carry on
Knowing that even if you sometimes fall
There’s an outstretched hand to help you get back up
When so many old friends that you thought were true
Have turned their backs on you, looked the other way
Somewhere in the darkness
You’ve found the unexpected helping hand
Of someone that you know will never desert you
Somewhere in the darkness I found you

NOTE-Sometimes when the world gets a very dark place for you, old friends that you always thought that you could trust to be there for you look the other way and walk away from you. Sometimes though when this happens, an outstretched hand of help comes from the person that you least expect it from, and you realise that you have found a new true friend.
