Soon

The colors of the world have faded,

And made the blue skies turn gray.

Everything all around seems jaded,

Even when the night turns to day.

　

Some say this is nature's true gift.

I say it's the sadness all around.

But I know my spirits need a lift,

And I need to hear that cheerful sound.

　

Soon, very soon things will be as was,

And the flowers will bloom again.

Time enough for the crowd to applause,

And the happiness will replace the pain.
