Staring Down a Long Road
Staring down a long road. By Anthony Grinder, on 1/22/2017
I'm in a hole I can't dig out.,
Fighting but I can't win.,
Won't do no good to scream and shout.,
What's the point of trying again.
Not knowing which way to go.,
So much pain only God knows.
I'm staring down a long road.,
Covered in pot holes of my past.,
Not knowing which way to go.,
Don't know if I can haul this load.,
Not knowing if this trip will be better then the last.,
Not fun facing this alone.
I'm staring down a long road, oh I'm staring down a long road.
Don't know how long I can haul this load. Oh staring down a long road.
I'm standing on the edge.,
My backs against a wall.,
Staring down the ledge.,
About to fall.
How can I dig out of this hole?,
How can I fight to win?,
In life I've lost my goal.,
For tomorrow another war begins.
I'm staring down a long road.,
Covered in the pot holes of my past.,
Not knowing which way to go.,
Don't know how long I can haul this load.,
Will this trip be better then the last?,
Not knowing what the future will show.
Oh I'm staring down a long road, oh staring down a long road.,
Oh covered in the pot holes of my past.,
Don't know how long I can haul this load.,
Don't know how long I can last.
Oh I'm staring down a long road, oh staring down a long road.,
Covered in the pot holes of my past.,
Don't know if I can haul this load.,
Hoping this trip will be better then the last.
I'm not as strong as I use to be.,
I find myself laying on my back.,
I pray to God to show me what I need to see.,
Why is my life always under attack.
I'm trying to hold it together and wait for you to show me.,
It's hard with such a heavy load.,
How can I be as strong as I need to be.,
As I stare down this long road.
Oh I'm staring down a long road.,
Covered in the pot holes of my past.,
Not knowing which way to go.,
Holding such a heavy load.,
Hoping this won't last.,
Waiting to see what God will show.
Oh I'm staring down a long road, oh staring down a long road.,
So covered with pot holes of my past.,
Not knowing which way to go.,
Trying to haul this load.,
Hoping this trip will be better then the last.,
Waiting to see what God will show.
Oh staring down a long road, oh staring down a long road.
