Days Like Today

My eyes are wide open but I am in deed alseep And I pray the Lord my soul to keep I mean because I'm in the water and it is deep I am walking down the road and it is steep I've heard look before you leap But I'm in over my head and so I weep Not because of what people might say But because I saw it coming a mile away And did nothing I sit idly by As things, people, dreams pass me by Not motivated to get integrated In those things that could help me prosper Instead I stay in a stupor of stupid unwilling to move Because I have nothing to prove But everything to lose Or do I have anything at all Glass pitcher on a diagonal shelf and I don't care that it might fall I'm sitting down when I should be standing tall And asking the Lord for help But I continue to look to my own self And put the Lord to side As if I can be my own Guide Lord please forgive me I ca't continue to be this ungrateful this unthankful And it's shameful
