My Prayer
The journey's long and I've been wrong
Never good enough.
I've worked and I've prayed, the price I've paid
All the wrong stuff.
I looked at my brother,a nd I looked at another
They weren't right.
I guaged all my actions on their reactions
Always ready to fight.
I started to drink, and watched myself sink
Deep in despair.
I stumbled alone in the darkness I'd sown
God wasn't there.
For days, weeks, and years I gave in to fears
A feverish brain.
Just darkness and night, never sign of light
Feeling insane.
I've nowhere to run, the drinking is done
I'm searching now.
I'm looking for proof of some inner truth
Oh God, tell me how!
