Look On the Bright Side
Sad beyond compare
I have no life to share
I walk this lonely road
Carrying a heavy load
Feeling all depress
I live with constant stress
Trying to do my best
Living in regress
Pain in my heart
Never feeling apart
Left out of the game
I have no name
As my dreams fade away
I exist in chains
In a burning home
All alone
I’m going blind
All the time
Light-headed and dizzy
Staying busy
The light of the day
Makes me pray
For the comforts of darkness
From the heartless
Maybe it just me
Trying to be
Someone free
Of falling debris
Burning eyes, weary heart
Waiting in part
To share the love
From God above
It’s hard to see
I can’t believe
This world can be
Such a beast
