As I sit here and I contemplate
whether I should live, or whether I should die
memories enfold me
life is passing me by

I sit here in my asylum
closed off from the world
I'm lonely and afraid
like a frightened little girl

I peak out the window
afraid of what I will see
I feel like he's out there
waiting for me

When will this end
God only knows
my pain and my anguish
fill all of my tomorrow's

Yet day after day
I sit here and I pray
God please love me enough
to protect me today

My children give me hope
for this is a world filled with doom
that someday maybe..
I can leave this dreary room

I sit here and I contemplate
whether I should live, or whether I should die
Yet day after day
I continue to survive

Suzanne

In the stillness of the night, when no one is around, she wakes..and comes to sit alone where only darkness can be found
Her heart is breaking and her eyes fill with tears
and she sits and she rocks, communing with her fears

Small pieces of her heart lay shattered all around, in vain she tries to gather them, as shells upon the ground
As the waves of pain and lonliness wash in on her hearts shore
And as it seems to always be, simply scatters them even more..

To die seems just the answer, her hearts pain so severe
she believes she has been banished from God's absence thats the fear
No help, no hope, just emptiness..no one to to make a way
In the loneliness of her room, she cries til the break of day

And the lies she hears within her heart, hold captive this precious one
there seems no end to all her pain, but wishes her life was done
But in the stillness of the dawn, there comes the touch of him
Upon whose hands her name is penned to wash away her sin
to take the grief and sorrow, the lonliness and fear, to speak within her troubled heart "Be still my child for I am here"

Though time may pass before she knows the quietness of his voice
the day will come when light will dawn and she will know...and  make her choice
He knows her pain and struggles too, a child who's known little love
A plan he has..for reaching her with his tenderness from above
The glory of the dawning day, the light will pierce the dark
And satans lies will be exposed for what they really are
And in her heart will healing flow, all sorrow and pain dispel
With love and joy..that she cant describe, at last, it will be well
