"Clear In Time"

Long ago
As a child
There was a woman
And she smiled
Down at you
That was truth
That was all you needed

Now you're here
On your own
Where's that shelter
Where's your home
Did it change
Like the days
Growing more defeated

And I know you'll find
That silver lining
Somewhere in the darkened skies
This is far from the end
My friend, keep shining
It'll all be clear in time

Set the course
Curb your fears
Growing dimmer
Over years
Be a light
In the night
That's where it's needed

Now the world
Takes its turn
Be a fire
Let it burn
Be the start
When your heart
Is just barely beating

And I know you'll find
That silver lining
Somewhere in the darkened skies
This is far from the end
My friend, keep shining
It'll all be clear in time

And time is an illusion
Only now breathes our confusion
But looking back in the past
Did it ever really last
A wave of comfort in its stead

And I know you'll find
That silver lining
It's always been your place
Where that light outshines
Any doubts in the present time
Wipe the tears from off your face
