You Can

My dear friend I know exactly
What you've been going through
For it wasn't that very long ago
That I was the same as you

To get away from such abuse
Is not as easy as it seems
Not only are you having to start over
But you're ending all your dreams

No my friend, it is not easy
But you can make it if you try
And yes, there will be those days
When you'll just break down and cry

But you must always remember
With God's help, you'll make it through
And if you need someone to talk with
I'll always be here for you
