Dear God
Dear God
I know you hear my crying
From deep in the night
I really am trying
To make right
I'm awake in my bed just there lieing
To prepare for this battle I must fight
The war best know as my life
And how sometimes I don't want to get through the day
Let alone the night
And I must find the strength, the might
To once again regain sight
Of what awaits for me ahead
Some of those things I know I will dread
But moments must go on
Time soon will be lost and gone
Will I still be standing all alone
Dear God
I know you've seen my tears
You know about all my fears
Some have stuck around for years
Why oh why can't everyone still be here
Why did I let everyone important to me disappear
I long for all my kids and him to be near
Family and friends that are held in my heart that are so dear
But I take what I got it's not everyone, but it's a lot
I can't have it all
So I need to stop hitting that brick wall
I can't always seem to pick myself up from that fall
Dear God
I know you listen to my pleas
Of how I could make time freeze
Go back to when I was young
Capture the feelings from the past
Toss out what I've become
And make the love I want to give last
I have to dig my way out of this hole
I need to capture what is left of me
I need to re-capture my soul
And again take control
I need that little spark
When all around me is getting dark
Dear God
I know I seem to ask a lot
But right now I have to
Use everything I know to do
Cause it's all I got
Battles to be won
And some to be lost
But all the fights will be fought
Even when I have no strength
And want to give in
Because I know better than anyone
This war with myself I may not always win
But is will also probably never end
