A Yell For God

I walk, I walk through this path of pain, god I need you, so my love could be regained. The 
day’s young, but I’m not seeing any light, I said to myself this can’t be right. No answer from 
god, this can’t be, I know god’s not a fraud. Digging down deep into my soul finding myself lost, 
finding what I’ve done in the past has a cost. I lay here, I cry, but why. Come god, come to 
me, let me see so I can be free. I’m walking through this valley blind, felling like I’m losing my 
mind. God I need you by my side, I need your light to guide.

Lord keep me strong, please, I’m tired of doing wrong. I close my eyes tight, wishing away all 
my fright. Still I see no sky, not seeing time come untied. This can’t be gods will, it’s not what I 
feel. I walk still, with no light of day, this can’t be the way. It’s not supposed to be like this, 
feeling unblessed with all the mist. I call for gods love, but I hear nothing up above. Not knowing 
my prayers reaching he’s ear, with this I really fear. I must end this day, with my debt, I will 
pay. God I yell to you, let this hell not be true! No! I will not lose my faith, because with god I 
know I’m safe. And every sorrow, pain, and ache, I know god will not forsake. God with this I 
pray to you, because your love for me will be true.

Freedoms Truth Is What's Inside

Deep in yourself where there's no darkness, you'll find nothing but holy lightness. 
Blinded by this light, all they see is night. Thinking there's no hope, giving up and come 
to cope. That's all they see, not knowing what it is to be truly free. Being free is to be 
free with your souls fight, it's fight to hold you tight. More you pull away, more the 
darkness stays at bay. Surrender yourself, and you will feel things you've never felt. 
Heaven is your souls fate, you will not fallow if all you have is hate. Must have love, to 
fallow your soul up above. Must stay together, to stay at peace forever. Don't get lost, it 
will have a cost. Learn your passion, so you can keep it from crashing. This life will end, 
so our souls life can begin. Energy we leave behind, affects everyone coming in this 
world blind. Take from this what you may, remember to find peace inside your energies 
ray. When looking at others don't look at what you see, but look at what they can be. 
When you come upon those who lost their way, hold on to them for they are the ones 
who needs the tools to be ok.
