I feel like a victim
of a life where all went wrong.
Im still trying
to catch my breath again
and find where I belong.
I feel tired and neglected,
a broken jar of clay.
And though it feels
like Youre ignoring me,
I am gonna stay.
I feel like Youve taken
almost everything I love
and cast it in a lake
of fire burning it all up.
The pain Im feeling right now
is overwhelming me,
and though the world tells me to curse You,
I still believe.
Can I sit by You?
I dont care what we do.
I just want to hold Your Hand.
I only want to be with You.
Can I sit by You?
Im so in awe of You.
Please, may I kiss Your hand?
I only want to be with You.
