Against All Odds
Dear God..why? I've got to ask,
Do I need to explain myself all over again?,
So many thoughts, so much time,
Invested just on trying to understand why,
When it all boils down to just one thing,
The world is filled with so many selfish human beings,
Holding onto as much as they can,
Survival to the fittest, the manipulation, the plans,
The core is fear, and it takes control,
It steals away your mind and soul,
All the while, God replies,
Do not fear, your heart is mine,
Wherever you are, whatever you do,
I will meet all your needs, and take care of you,
He says in the end don't lose your heart,
He knew this would happen, before it would even start,
I trust his words, so I keep giving and loving,
While I watch the whole world frantically running,
My heart is heavy at times when I see,
Praying against the fear, staying in your peace
