Doubting the Man In the Sky

He looks at the sky
No hope in his eye
Inside he is broken
Bottled feelings unspoken
Hands tied together
His future forcast doesnt look as if it gets better
Pacing frequently from side to side 
Along the road he lost his pride 
He looks at the sky
As tears fall from each eye 
Slowing watching the darkness, expel
All the light in the room to simulate hell
The man stood his ground 
Refused to go down
Everytime he didnt give up 
A drop of happiness enetered his cup
In the darkness of hell 
Though he was not doing well 
He heard the 'whoosh' of an Angels wings 
Listened to his spirit as it sings
Nothing from him did darkness consume
He could see even better when light entered the room 
Now as he looks at the beautiful sky
His heart fills with joy and he never asks why
