My Soul Or My Sanity
I woke up this morning
Heard a whisper in my ear.
Said "Go back up the mountain
Something more you need to hear."
Looked out the window
At the mountain I did stare
Something then came over me
Got on my knees in prayer
The voice kept on haunting me
Till no longer I could sleep.
Is it my Soul or my Sanity?
The mountain wants to keep?
Is there such a mountain?
Or is it only in my mind?
Seems it keeps on telling me
There's something I need to find
Last time there He told me
Of all the things He's done
But I forgot to ask Him
Why he took my son?
Was there any reason?
That I'll always question why.
He's no longer with us.
Why, was he the one to die?
Said I should take His hand,
Put my trust in Him.
But I must be honest now
My faith in Him is rather dim.
Last time on that mountain
His words went right into my heart,
But the more I kept on thinking
It started to tear my heart apart.
Why is it so hard for me
To believe in what You say?
That there is a better place
And You will show the way
Did I lose my sanity?
Did I lose my soul.
Only this damn mountain knows
If there's more stories to be told
