The Thin Line

A thin line extends to divide faith and fear

And so often the side you are on isn’t clear

 

For despite every effort to keep holding on

And despite every prayer and despite every song

 

That you’ve used to inspire and keep faith burning bright

Still the silence creeps in with the still of the night

 

And you can’t help but wonder, “Will it really be fine”

While the hours roll by… and you walk the thin line
