Hanging By a Thread
hanging by a thread
give me something to hang on to
don’t leave me hanging by a thread
something to wrap my arms around
I’ve followed where you lead
mark the path with posted signs
not leaves that can be blown
how can I find my way back
if a clear trail is not shown
I wander down this broken dream
you’re always just ahead
a pool of tears beneath me
a heart that’s filled with dread
onward in my journey
things I don’t understand
a thousand questions haunt me
a million grains of sand
the sun beats down upon me
but the sun won’t light my way
no ease in my forgiveness
all the memories are decayed
retracing fading footsteps
embedded in my mind
tracks that once led to your heart
now more difficult to find
give me something to hang on to
don’t leave me hanging by a thread
something to wrap my arms around
I’ve followed where you lead
