Behind These Eyes

Behind these eyes no glimmer glows Of future bright and rosy Only darkness fills the scene No sign of any posies I try so hard reasons to find To fill my heart with glee To put a spring into my step And end all this drudgery A thousand reasons I’ve been through Not a single one I’ve found To lift my eyes up to the sky And stop me looking at the ground Then suddenly through clouds it came A ray of blinding light Right then I knew all was not lost That soon would end my fight Recovery is a slippery slope Back from a depressed state Some of us will never make it For them hope came too late But for the lucky ones of us Who made it through the gloom We give our thanks to God above For saving us from the tomb
