Another Happy Tune

Stare into the world’s demise Look inside their broken cries All I’ve got from this world is pain Enough to drive a man insane Friends dying from incurable cancers Left without any answers The universe is dark enough to hide Hidden thoughts of suicide It’s as if we’re driven to the grave Left nothing to our name But still I’ll sing another happy tune As I wait for you In the midst of the broken I still have something to hope in This house could never be my home Left buried in a tombstone I dream of heaven up above As I see my Savior’s love Oh how I long to run into his arms Forever freed from a world of harms Depression grabs hold of the heart Tearing every piece of you apart You’d rather die than live in this pain Such a house of shame How could anyone call this house a home A world where death has the throne In the mirror you look into your eyes Never been able to count the secret tears you’ve cried Such an empty soul Never feeling whole We need to see a hope A chance to see love grow But still I’ll sing another happy tune As I wait for you In the midst of the broken I still have something to hope in This house could never be my home Left buried in a tombstone I dream of heaven up above As I see my Savior’s love Oh how I long to run into his arms Forever freed from a world of harms Every person needs to see Love that was meant to be What if this house never felt like home Because it never was What if all that was taught to you Was never true I refuse to believe in nothing There’s more than this I’ll never stop searching For heaven’s bliss But still I’ll sing another happy tune As I wait for you As I wait for you In the midst of the broken I still have something to hope in This house could never be my home Left buried in a tombstone I dream of heaven up above As I see my Savior’s love Oh how I long to run into his arms Forever freed from a world of harms But still I’ll sing another happy tune As I wait for you As I wait for you
