God Is Real

God Is Real
Wobbly legs and shaky hands
Steady and balance you out
Only those who share this life
Understand what it’s about

It’s hard to keep your head up
And keep your eyes dry too
When not even you can understand
What’s happening inside of you

These thoughts and fears,
They sabotage plans and paralyze your soul
You feel all helpless against your plight
You start to lose control 

You didn't plan on being here
You never chose this route
You feel so lonely and afraid
Death seems the best way out

But then you hear that little voice
That lives inside your head
The one that reminds you that God is real
And you choose life instead~
