Alone In the Wild

Twisted, torn and broken Nothing left inside Only pain and sorrow And a hurt, too deep to hide Lost in an ocean of torment Out on the edge of despair Hoping the light it will find you While only the darkness seems near Your time on the tide hasn’t proven The world is a wonderful place But the love in the face of your children Keeps your faith in this inhuman race The road to your future is twisted Temptation says “Stay in your cave” Your window to peace has been misted Perhaps there’s just nothing to save But the child deep inside has a right To follow his dreams and his love Each time he is pushed to the ground There’s a hand out from Heaven above In each wonderful form it enfolds In a friend or the smile of a child My faith once again is renewed Now i’m not so alone in the wild
