Silver-Lined Clouds

tell me why

beauty's always distracted by pain

tell me why

we repeat our mistakes time and time again

tell me why

problems fade on thoughts of a fleeing train

tell me why

all that is good always seems to be slain



tell me why

we always want more than we need

tell me why

our thoughts are poisoned by jealousy and greed

tell me why

if it's so much harder to ask than it is to plead

then tell me why

others always find themselves biting the hand that feeds



tell me why

these questions are here for us to ask

tell me why

our future deems less important than our past

tell me why

we dwell on events that's left us bruised

tell me why

it's so painful to let go of past abuse



so ask yourself why

a part of you dies

with each passing pain...



then a part of you grows stronger

like the boldness of that silver-lined cloud

beyond the thunder and rain
