This Feeling

This Feeling
 
 
Sometimes I sat and cry
 
Wondering what it is
 
Trying to determine
 
Exactly how I feel
 
The purpose for my life
 
I try hard to figure out
 
When I think I have faith
 
My mind is deep in doubt
 
 
 
This empty feeling inside
 
Crying out for help
 
When I try to conquer life
 
I only hurt my self
 
I pick up the telephone
 
Just to talk to my friend
 
They had nothing to offer me
 
Because my life is deep in sin
 
 
 
This feeling that I have
 
I fight hard to understand
 
When I talk no one listen
 
But I try hard to stand
 
So many sleepless night
 
My pillow all wet with tears
 
My dreams say there's no answer
 
And my faith is somehow sealed
 
 
 
Am I tired of this life
 
Or could I be depressed?
 
Is this the weight of the world
 
Or is it just a test?
 
What is this feeling
 
That's visible in my sight
 
And what steals my dreams
 
To keep me up at night?
 
I try to be happy
 
But I'm sad as can be
 
Whatever this feeling is
 
One day I must be free!
