The Struggle

As I go through what I go through each and everyday I look back and cry because I have nothing to say Why is it that everytime I try to do what is right It comes back around and gives me a bite No matter what I do, it comes back hurting me Why isn't the daylight so clear to see The river of pain flows very heavily so I fall so far down that I end up on the flo' I try to help with all my might But I am the only one with any sight Everyone needs my help to get where they're going Each of their lives I end up sewing But who is there to help me get through Who is there to do what I do I look to the left for a little advice I end up finding people who are not really nice I look to the right with hope in mind But I end up finding people who put me in more of a bind The only place to look is to look above That is the only place that I will ever find love Please Oh Lord, help me get through this Your presence is something that I truly miss I am sorry for going so far away I wish that there was more I could say I try, I try, I try so hard to help But I am always hung out to dry like kelp What am I doing wrong, is this really the end Or do I really have a chance to defend
