the very thing that won't let me be.
I wake every morning wanting a fresh start,
but the depression is so deep that it pierces my heart.
I watch everyone around me leaving their fingerprints on this earth,
but it seems the only thing I leave is the hurt.
I want so much to be normal and live a happy life,
but the misery cut's like a knife.
What else is there to do, but live with the pain,
for the depression tells me that I have nothing to gain.
My world is darkness, sorrow, and despair,
but if there is a light, I see none there.
I want to break from this prison that keeps me bound,
I listen for words of comfort, but I hear not one sound.
My life is the stormy waters of an angry sea,
my body is the vessel that struggles to be set free.
How do I hold on when the wave's are so high,
I find it strange that I'm still alive.
But I know that someone is watching from high above,
his love was sent on wing's of a dove.
Heavenly Father, hear my cries, for I am so tired, lonely and weak,
for it is you that I do seek.
Tell me Lord, how long must I wait,
for it's my soul I wish you to take.
I promise you Lord that I'll hold on with all my might,
because in the end you'll make it alright.
Someone in heaven is dancing and singing with glee,
free as a bird living with thee.
Tell me Lord, when is it my turn to worship you there,
I feel that I haven't a minute to spare.
A minute to you is a thousand years,
but look closely Lord, you will see my tears.
My depression is strong, and my soul is weak,
but hear I am kneeling at your feet.
What is that Lord you've shown me?
you removed the darkness so I can see.
What is that Lord that's come in my sight?
Thank you Lord, I can now see the light!
