The Door Is Left Ajar

I’m dancing without a care in the dark of night I need a shoulder to lie on and I need support as I fight the good fight Your goodbyes were reduced to lies Your farewells were wicked lullabies I can rise above this pain in my heart I’m falling apart in the dark of night I need some reassurance that I will be alright Light up the sky, you shimmering stars of undying might I can feel you like the aftershocks of the door being left ajar You ran me over with your words of worthlessness, you wretched car The sparkling spotlights are beaming bright right before my very eyes I walk triumphantly on stage without a flick of fear…how time flies… When the door is left ajar, my dreams fade away into the atmosphere I heave a sigh of relief – God is by my side and I have many dreams to accomplish one way or another, so I won’t shed another tear, for cherished hope draws near I can rip apart anytime – I’m so delicate…let us both depart… Grief-stricken due to your deceiving ways You traded me with your guilt trips of a thousand days I’m falling apart in the dark of night I need some reassurance that I will be alright Light up the sky, you shimmering stars of undying might I can feel you like the aftershocks of the door being left ajar You ran me over with your words of worthlessness, you wretched car The sparkling spotlights are beaming bright right before my very eyes I walk triumphantly on stage without a flick of fear…how time flies… When the door is left ajar, my dreams fade away into the atmosphere I heave a sigh of relief – God is by my side and I have many dreams to accomplish one way or another, so I won’t shed another tear, for cherished hope draws near Lost for the rest of my life – bring peace and prosperity to life I should’ve known you were using me as an experiment The door is left ajar...and I still hear the endless strife I should’ve known you were that conniving serpent I’m falling apart in the dark of night I need some reassurance that I will be alright Light up the sky, you shimmering stars of undying might I can feel you like the aftershocks of the door being left ajar You ran me over with your words of worthlessness, you wretched car The sparkling spotlights are beaming bright right before my very eyes I walk triumphantly on stage without a flick of fear…how time flies… When the door is left ajar, my dreams fade away into the atmosphere I heave a sigh of relief – God is by my side and I have many dreams to accomplish one way or another, so I won’t shed another tear, for cherished hope draws near The quarrels of midnight have filled my eardrums – you spit me out like tasteless gum My heart is as stable as titanium, but I can’t help, but feel numb Oh Lord of Accord, douse me with your light of delight Let us not be afraid and let us rest in peace this silent night When the door is left ajar, my dreams blend with the dreary, heartless atmosphere I heave a sigh of doubtless cheer – God is by my side and I have many dreams to fulfill with my undying might one way or another, so I won’t shed another tear, for cherished hope draws near

The serpent cannot catch what it cannot confuse...your heart hears the Lord when bravery strums the conscious chord. This battle is extraordinary, revealing a transition of soul J.W.M. "Oh, Lord of Accord, douse me with your light of delight..." a powerful way to express petition for harmony. I understand your need for balance. J.A.B.
