Difficulties Arise

It's difficult to function
In the midst of destruction
Peace, come to us in time of need
Give graciously, wave 'bye to greed

Let me function all on my own
Your devices are going to crumble...down...
Get me out of this cage of alone
Your malice chases away the humble...in this strange town...

Peace gives graciously to the needy
Chaos takes away hope from the greedy
It's difficult to function in the midst of destruction
It's not your fault I have lost my direction due to assumption

Silence overthrows the ominous, nostalgic night
Daylight dawns upon me with such luminous light
Don't fence me in with your love again
Follow my footsteps to the unknown; for I, alone, will find where you been

Fade away the faithless hues of gray between us
Know that we are together in this on the same bus
Hatred will never shower down regret and distrust upon our love boat
Shameful dread and sorrow will not be our tomorrow's raincoat

It's difficult to function
In the midst of affliction
I'm marrying the utmost, marvelous joy in my aching heart before it shatters apart
I'm divorcing the many disdainful and painful trains of thought from the start 

It's difficult to function
In the midst of destruction
If there really is a sweet heaven above,
Will You shower upon us eternal love?

It's complicated to figure a way out
Of your desolate dungeon 
It's hard to make a difference, with no doubt,
Under pressure times a dozen

Difficulties arise...difficulties arise...lowering our highs
Much like the brink of morning's radiant, yet resonating sunrise
Saw it right through your eyes, in your moonlit, sunset eyes -
The gracious truth beneath the hideous lies...boy, how time flies
The lies of society are sugarcoated with lullabies and goodbyes
But, still, we will share the lovely unity of our low-deprived highs 

Finally, God answered our prayers and why's
He answered each and every one of our cries 
Difficulties arise as we try to function in our hopelessness
We cannot avoid the fact that we are always together in this
