A black cloud falls upon you,

and we both know you're in pain.

But my friend, why worry?

You know you're bound for fame.

Nothing that you do, nothing that you say.

Can keep you from this plan.

So worry no more today.

Nothing lasts forever,

No, no amount of pain.

Nothing lasts forever.

Keep shining through the rain.

What has caused you, to look so sad today.

Was someone unkind, was it something I didn't say.

Remember now, you're not the only one who cries.

My friend, you're the best thing in our lives.

Now, nothing lasts forever.

Not any amount of pain.

Nothing lasts forever.

Keep us shining in the rain.

Everybody needs some time to take as their own.

Everybody needs some time all alone.

Nothing lasts forever,

We'll help you through the pain.

Nothing lasts forever,

Please help us do the same.

This is my song that I wrote one day when I thought one of my friends was very depressed, this, of course, depressed me as well and I went into a kind of downward spiral mentally. Well soon after I found that this person was fine and was their normal self. Interesting how I use this word here. Anyway, if you can guess who this is for...good for you. I just thought the person would like to remain nameless here. I thank this person right now for what they have done. Here's to you, all my friends, and here's what a little sadness can do.
