The Voice Within

Did you ever feel so lonely that you wished your life would end
And you didn't have much money and you didn't have a friend
And you felt a bit suicidal and you felt all hope had gone
Till a tiny voice within you said you ought to carry on.

And that tiny voice within you suddenly grew to a roar
Shouted pull yourself together pull yourself up off the floor
If you end it all this evening and you give up on all hope
Some will say oh what a loser with life he just couldn't cope.

If you end it all this evening you won't get much sympathy
Some people will say what a loser he gave in so easily
Though a few feel sympathetic the majority will say
It took a weak and a cowardly fellow for to end his life in this way.

You can take the easy way out by ending your life tonight
But you are a better person if against the odds you fight
And when you overcome adversity you are one they will admire
And the story of your triumph others like you will inspire.

It's that tiny voice within you that increases to a roar
That inspires in you the courage just to battle on some more
And through your dark tunnel of depression you resolve to carry on
Though you feel alone and friendless and you feel all hope has gone.
