And the World Keeps Spinning

The world spins and we go along
There are sunny days, cloudy days and dark days of rain.
We take our steps, happy steps, sad steps, steps of distress
And the World keeps Spinning.

The sun comes out and shines on our lives
Happiness overcomes us and fill our hearts with joy
How do we keep this lovely sunny weather?
And the World keeps Spinning.

As we go through life, we run into cloudy days
They happen to everyone, and we seek to find a ray of light.
Some days the sun returns and some days we move right into dark days of rain.
And the World keeps spinning.

Then we go our separate ways.  Your world ends.
The gray cloudy days surround me. Light is not to be seen.
I try and try, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time
And the World keeps spinning.

I was caught in the hurricane of grief. Tears, so many tears.
But smiles and good memories come from family and friends.
I move forward, one step at a time. Cautiously I focus on the ray of light
And the World keeps spinning.
