Hanging By a Thread

hanging by a thread give me something to hang on to don’t leave me hanging by a thread something to wrap my arms around I’ve followed where you lead mark the path with posted signs not leaves that can be blown how can I find my way back if a clear trail is not shown I wander down this broken dream you’re always just ahead a pool of tears beneath me a heart that’s filled with dread onward in my journey things I don’t understand a thousand questions haunt me a million grains of sand the sun beats down upon me but the sun won’t light my way no ease in my forgiveness all the memories are decayed retracing fading footsteps embedded in my mind tracks that once led to your heart now more difficult to find give me something to hang on to don’t leave me hanging by a thread something to wrap my arms around I’ve followed where you lead
