My Soul

If we knew then how things would turn out, 
Would we have laughed & shook our head in doubt? 

Or would we have chosen to keep pushing through,
Although it was hard, we knew what we should do. 

Some choices in life are not easy to make, 
Even though we know all that’s at stake. 

Sometimes when life gets out of control 
We take the path that steals our soul 

Before we know it, we’ve dug ourselves deep
What we sow, is what we will reap 

What to do when the devil takes hold?
Not a thing, cuz it’s all been sold

Now here we sit with nothing to lose, 
You’d think that life is what we would choose 

But life as we know it is nothing but bleak, 
Even though it’s light we silently seek

So here we stay alone in the dark, 
Hoping & wishing for one little spark 

We imagine & dream & all it would take, 
Is one small miracle for our soul to wake 

For our eyes to be opened, for our hearts to burn, 
To see colour again, that’s what we yearn 

To find our purpose & someone to love, 
But it’ll only happen when we look above 

For it won’t be earthly things that make our lives whole, 
Only our Father can renew our soul

So my prayer right now is this addiction He takes, 
The night grows long, but soon the day breaks 

My soul now unburdened & feeling so light, 
I’m so glad I stayed & decided to fight
