My Darkest Nights
My Darkest Nights
Thinking of this life
discouraged and out of sight
out of sight but not blind
I can still see the light...
All of the nights that I lay
in my bed and just pray
hoping for a miracle and not a myth
can you flip that switch?
Holding my pillow tight
as the tears pour down...
thinking of all that's happening
Can I live and get around?
take me away from this town...
This house is not a home
without your word submerged through-out...
So I push through the struggle with all my might,
even on my darkest nights
I may be down, but i'm not out...
It's only the first strike
No matter how complicatingly simple life is
I'll continue to be thankful for all that you give.
Sometimes I feel like I can't even breathe
but you wrap your love around me.
Your inspiration sets me free
Or how about when the sun rises
and I can barely sit up in my bed...
I just thank you for waking me
and give you the glory...
By you I shall be led
I know that I'm impatient
for the patience that I pray for
and with the negativity that surrounds me
I should already be down,
face flat on the floor
but I look towards my destiny
as I watch you opening more doors...
So I'll make it through these twisted flights...
Even on my darkest nights.
