Awakened

Awakened from my slumber Every living night Endless thoughts encumber What I know is right My mind is truly crowded More and more each day Before it gets all clouded I need to slip away Where could I go racing Without misery and strife Pain is always chasing Endless in my life I guess I'll just keep running Farther every day And hope I still am shunning The Devil who must play I know I should be thrilled My mind is clearing out The fact is I'm so chilled I just want to shout If this be my millstone I will bear the weight There needs to be a new tone To tempt the hand of fate All I have been trying Has not made a dent If this pain keeps flying I'll be old and bent I will keep on staying In spite of all that comes The Devil's always playing As I run from his drums I wish he does not see As I try to run away I pray to God to hide me At least for just one day I hope my prayers are given Though they were right from the start And so my mind is driven You have all my heart I know it's getting lighter Every single day I'll pull the covers tighter But will never go away You have my word in this my love I will be ever at your side For we are like a hand and glove That never shall divide One thing I left to say Before I reach the end With you I'll forever stay I love you my best friend
