Rebecca de la Torre - These Times Lyrics

The world was simple and full of hope
But now I'm at the end of my rope
One by one it's the end of my dreams
Now all my plans just seem like schemes

We are broken; we are out of work
Our life went from blissful to berserk
Will our travails ever begin to cease?
Can we just find a moment of peace?

And now as I fall out of my prime
Please absolve me of all my crimes
I swear it's not the rain but it rhymes
Lord please help me understand these times

We are used to a life of resistance
And I never wanted any assistance
But they are coming for our home and
I feel us fading into the gloaming

Hold me close; you are all that I have
Our love is sadly my only salve
Lets embrace that which we have left
Lets cling to it with our final breath

Give me some relief; I ache for that
If ever so brief; I'll wait for that
I can't seem to fix it; try as I might
Is there a ticket to make it right?

And now as I fall out of my prime
Please absolve me of all my crimes
I swear it's not the rain but it rhymes
Lord please help me understand these times
Lord please Lord please Lord please
