Been Deceived
Deep inside my mind,
Peace haunts my design.
Leaving it all behind,
To find a soul refined.
Intertwined with the whole,
Playing the hardest role.
It's taking its toll,
Strength is falling below,
The threshold I know.
What will it take to grow,
From this place of sorrow.
I only see my shadow,
Where is the glow,
The joy that I bestow.
I fall deeper still,
My heart is guiding my will.
Sadness the hill I face,
As I navigate through this place.
A race that don't believe,
A family won't receive,
The words I'm trying to leave.
Blinded by those who deceive,
Keeping you in your seat,
Every Sunday you repeat,
Leaving your world at their feet.
