Breaking Sad
Breaking sad
Makes me feel bad
Like trying to see the light
In a world of forever night
Darkness gives you
A tainted view
When I let the darkness in it only grew
In the distance, I see the light
So bright
Hard to find my way
Through the darkness of day
Lost to the absence of light
My life was no longer right
Everyday was a fight
The more I fought
Learning hard lessons taught
Could not find the way
To a better day
Hope it seemed was never meant to stay
Held down by life
Bound by inner strife
I tried not to care
Life was more than I could bare
I could see the light so far away
In the darkness I thought I would stay
Love started to fade
Hope started to degrade
I started to cry
Thought I would die
Lonely and old
I felt so cold
Inside and out
I silently did shout
With the darkness all about
I can no longer see
Please....just sit me free
I fell to the ground
Lost in the pain that was all around
Struggled to my knees
Felt no one would hear my pleas
The ringing of silence the only sound
In this hell I feel I am bound
Lead me closer to the light
Give me back my sight
I am lost
I give you my soul to pay any cost
Help me
I feel I can no longer be
Take my heart
We can no longer be apart
Give me life a new start
I grow tired unable to rest
Have I yet past any test
I have done my best
I have tried
Cried
But alone
Life has shown
I cannot go on anymore
Help me to soar
Open the door
You are my only light
Help me in this fight
Lead my way
Through each day
Help me to be strong
The night is so long
My life so wrong
Take away this forever night
And now I see such a sight
I see the light
Of it I become a part
Love cleans my heart
It leads my way
I no longer see only gray
I feel free
I can now see
This is how life must truly be
Can feel my strength building
His love is shielding
Darkness fades away
To a brighter day
Living in the light
His love felt so right
I see such beauty each and everyday
I have found my way
Who knew.....I had only to pray
