There is a time and place for tears
As well a time for sighs;
A time to say a glad Hello
And times for sad Goodbyes.

There is a place for friends to meet
Beyond a cloudy sky
To laugh and dance with out a care
And let their troubles lie.

Then comes a time when soldiers must
Let fall their battle cries
To build a place where children can
Sleep sound to lullabies.

Through every time remember well
There is - in joy and strife-
A time and place for everything,
That time and place is life.
