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
