I Wondered If You Were Alright

When you wake up in the morning
with no smile upon your face,
and you think everyone’s against you
and in life you have no place.

You’re going through the motions
and just getting through your day,
and everyday you ask yourself
why should life be this way.

No money to build your dreams on
barely enough to get you by.
No one to love, hug, or kiss you,
or to dry a tear from your eye.

No one to share your troubles with,
because no one wants to know.
Your life is passing you quickly by
and you have no place to go.

I used to see you out with friends
when I went out Saturday nights,
but for a while you’ve not been there
and I wondered if you were alright.

I’ve missed your smiling eyes and sparkle,
and your laughter about the place.
Would you like to smile and laugh again,
and show the world your happy face?

I suppose I’m asking to take you out
to anywhere you would feel at ease.
Please give your life a second chance
and help me to help you, please.
