Illuminated Darkness
I feel a cold wind when I'm awake
But can't sleep because of all the heartache
And pain I've caused knowing it's not right
But still I continue and continue to fight
Searching for someone who will turn on the light
Screaming for help knowing no one is there
Cherishing the trust and the love I once shared
For anyone living and giving me the chance to shine
Seeing all but still feeling blind
Because of the darkness in my mind
Through this tunnel of darkness I see
A blurred picture of prosperity
Even though I barley see me
I clearly see the surrounding
And yet the meaning of this picture has not come to me
But if I could just step outside my comfort zone
Knowing that I can't do this alone
So I get the Man upstairs on the phone
Praying and hoping that He's home
He picks up and I cry
Lord oh God please hear my prayer
I already promised to let you come downstairs
I said you come inside and my body we'll share
Hello....God are you still there?
Illuminate my darkness so your light can shine
Take over my body my soul and my mind
I'm yours Lord
And I'm for real this time
