In This Life

as everything seems to get better

god drowns me once again

all that's been asked for

is a little light

yet darkest prevails and hides my sight

good things happen so rarely

but always cast aside so quick

my heart still pumps

my blood still flows

though my mind has fallen ill

In this life

this life called mine

good things happen rarely

yet they're cast aside

just bring me hope

that will last a life time
