The Sorrows of Sam

Sometimes I feel I can’t go on
Feeling part of a scheme or some kind of con
Nothing is real anymore
The quality of life’s very poor
Yet still I think it will be alright
Sometimes it’s worth it to fight
Yet there are times when I’m feeling down
Nothing’s worth seeing and there is no sound-
Save for the gentle beating of my heart
Inside are troubled waves that never part
For them to do that, would make my path clear
Instead, I sit here, calmly shedding tears

Everything is gonna be ok
That’s all people have to say
There’s always a silver lining

Times get rough
And I get sad
Life is tough
If you fall behind, that’s just too bad
Always alone, no where to go
No one to talk to when you’re feeling low
My mind is my comfort
But it gets overcrowded-too many things to sort
I look at the black of the sky
Sit back and wonder why..
Why me?
I’m just a gardener you see
But I keep going
There’s too many things that could be
The Ring will be gone
And I’ll be home before long
If I keep going on
There’s no going back
“You’d have to tie me up in a sack”
Can’t leave Mr.Frodo
Besides, there’s no where to go

Everything is gonna be ok
That’s all I have to say
There’s always a silver lining

Look! A star rises out of the darkness
Telling us just to rest
Our journey is almost over
Our troubles almost done
We’ll get out of the dark and see the sun
We’ll leave behind sorrow
And be able to look for the morrow
Be able to live out our days without fear

Everything is now ok
That’s all I have to say
There’s always a silver lining

The journey is complete
It was no easy feat
But now I’m home for good
Among grass, water, and wood
Life has gotten better
The pain is almost healed
The memories all but sealed
Just want to go on, to forget it all

Everything will never be ok
That’s all I have to say
To hell with the silver lining

Mr.Frodo’s leaving now
Broken will be my vow
To always be there
I guess life really isn’t very fair
I had gotten what I wanted
Now, I’ll never be the same
Memories never really wax and wane
So now I say farewell
Letting you go is gonna be hell
Just never forget your old Sam
I was your servent, your friend
Now I just…am
Our journey has come to the end
