THE LISTENER
(B. Liddiard)

I don't know why the world has to be such a sad place sometimes
And I don't know why life has to show such a hard face sometimes
I don't know why bad things happen to good people
I don't know why.

Sometimes I feel cast adrift on a crazy ocean
Out of control, tossed and turned in perpetual motion
Searching for something to hook my anchor into
To hold me tight, to hold me tight.

Then you come to me
You hold me in your arms
You comfort my fears
You let me speak them out
You may not have the answer
You needn't even try
Just to have you listen
Makes everything alright.
