Endless Skies
Endless Skies
he sits beneath an endless sky
where children laugh and play
all alone his head hung low
just wallowing in shame
he's thinking about yesterday
the things he said and did
lost in thoughts about himself
wondering if he's the only kid
who can't control the things he'll do
or the things that he will say
he doesn't know what he will do
the thoughts wont go away
how many times he has wished
that he could be anybody else
but he doesn't seem to have a clue
how he can change himself
he took a mirror and took a look
deep inside his hollow eyes
then got upon his knees and prayed
toward the endless skies
he asked the lord to take his hand
to help him see the way
he felt a warmth and found the strength
to make it through the day
now every day he starts the same
he prays for strength and love
and lives before the eyes of god
filled with warmth from up above
any time that he needs a hand
his savior hears his cries
and he knows that he is safe beneath
his forever endless skies
