It was a day in the life Full of sadness and of strife You never thought you'd make it through Feeling people think the worst of you Although it isn't always said The nightmares follow you to bed And when you dream it haunts you still It holds you down against your will So many tears have drowned your past But the suffocating wouldn't last One day you woke and saw the truth Of the pain and suffering that stole your youth Something special made you well It broke that sad and awful spell You new at once it wouldn't end The happiness given by a true friend.
