Two Good Reasons

PT 1 Endless nights And desperate days Nothing seems to break This depressing haze Of a life once cherished But now broken to hell I can’t seem to escape from This imprisoning cell Lifeless and spent Are my nerves and my will I don’t even know If I’m able to feel Desolate and bare My emotions are dead Nothing inside But this impending dread Please give me a sign Or a glimpse of your face To at least let me know I still have a place Or offer me your hand And I’ll use all my might To grasp it in mine And hold to it tight Renew my torn heart And my wandering soul Fill it with life And a reason to grow old I’ll trust in your kindness And praise I will give For giving me just One reason to live PT 2 My sanity’s back I can see clear again Not wanting to return To that place I had been It all was a lie A fake and a sham It made me forget All who I am I rejoice in my freedom And sing life’s sweet song For finding my way back To the place I belong You showed me the meaning Of what life was meant for You gave me my wings So again I may soar So straight to them I will fly For inside I have won In realizing the reason Was two not just one, It was the love and the need Of my two beloved sons
