The Struggle Within
The Struggle Within
A lonely heart sits and waits
Seconds tick and time abates
Each day passes in s blink
All i do is sit and think
Of all the things i could have done
Away from life i tried to run
Knowing there is sunshine around the bend
Waiting for my soul to mend
Never giving up the hope
Fighting against the slippery slope
My footing stumbles
The mountain crumbles
Trying to knock me down
Each step i take toward the top
Something my path does block
Struggling to push on
Knowing that my heart is strong
I see the light up ahead
Less struggle to get out of bed
Faith around the corner lies
A new tomorrow, brighter skies
The goal i seek is now insight
Push the sadness from my mind
Dropping now the ties that bind
My heart is lighter
Inside my soul sparks a fire
Leaving behind the words of a liar
My life is my own
I’ve fought long and hard
Finally time for my journey to start
