Caught Up
Somedays its hard to find the light
The choice thats right
Either black or white
The never ending compromise
can become a prison
Bringing an unforseen demise
As you bathe in all the beautiful lies
And the soul within you cries and cries
The tornado twisting in your brain
Mixes your thoughts with all your pain
And you feel your lifeforce drain
And drain
And tomorrow the cycle begins again
You waken to a dawn
to a light not real
Even though it shines in your bed
No warmth you feel, and with the day
theres no new deal,
Just the daily grind
Another tasteless meal,
Yes somedays its hard to find the light
Where one true hope is burning bright
Where a loving God
Rescues you from your plight.
And he hears you from a distant star
in the heavenly night
As you wish you may you wish you might
Just be the twinkle in his eye
That catches his sight
The last hope you have as you say goodnight.
