The reality is, not everyone keeps their promise.
The reality is, people will let you down
The reality is, your most trusted will abandon you when you need them the most.
The reality is, life can, and often does present itself as one big let down.
One disappointment after another
One challenge after another
One frustration after another
Where have all the good people gone, I cry, where have all the good people gone?
It’s very easy to lose hope
To feel helpless
It’s very easy to question the meaning and purpose of it all
And to lose faith.
It’s very easy to stop trusting
And to go on living with fear of this or that
To be gripped by bitterness and resentment
Tragedy and despair.
Life makes it easy to want to quit on yourself and on others.
But yet there is something that keeps keep you going,
Something burning deep inside, a flame that won’t go out
Flickers of hope, that won’t let you throw in the towel
Reminding you that you’re still here, still in it.
There’s something whispering in your ear, telling you to get up, dust yourself off and go again.
Telling you that there is still much to live for
That there is much work still to be done
That the world needs you.
When you find yourself in darkness, it’s very easy to lose sight
But sometimes all it takes is to switch on a light.
