There Comes A Time

There comes a time

When we may not be here

When Winter turns to Spring

 

There comes a time

When we may not be here

When flowers bloom and raindrops fall

 

There comes a time

When we may not be here

To greet the sun or feel the gentle breeze

 

There comes a time

There comes a time

 

For such a time

We have today

To see the winter turn to spring

 

For such a time

We have today

To plant flowers for which the rain will fall

 

For such a time

We have today

To bring sunshine, or, cheer along the way

 

For such a time

For such a time

 

There comes a time
