The darkness here has lingered
the hours have been long.
The notes have long since faded
of your old favorite song.
Morning after morning,
you drag yourself to life
with prayers for hurried hours
and patience to survive.
But where's the joy, you wonder,
the light that used to shine,
when you dreamed of roads to travel
and using every ounce of time.
You lift your head up slowly,
knowing this is not the way.
The sun still shines above you,
lost is not where you must stay.
Your pulse begins to quicken,
oh all the life there is
is waiting right here for you
along with all you have to give.
