COUNT THE BETTER DAYS

Look at this picture
Tell me what you see
You can't stand still at every mistake you've made
Don't tell me this is fate
There must be a better way
So stick to what's real
Sometimes reach a helping hand
Even to the ones that don't understand
At least in a way
Count the better days
I think i know how you feel
I've had my share of not saying what i meant
And not meaning what i said
Got in all over my head
Even wished i was dead
So stick to what's real
Sometimes grasp a helping hand
Even from some-one you don't understand
At least in a way
Count the better days
Twigs and rope and lack of hope
Tight into a square
What do you think you'll find in there?
Truth is scattered everywhere
So stick to what's real
Sometimes reach a helping hand
Even to the ones you don't understand
At least in a way
Count the better days
Try to relate to fatherly words
You're just a slightly fallen star
You're still a star
You won't fall far
So stick to what's real
Sometimes grasp a helping hand
Even from the ones that don't understand
At least in a way
Count the better days

(Song for a friend...)
