this burden I carry on my shoulders is too heavy
and this pain that eats away at me each day is too deep
the tears that I cry are too sour as they fall from my eyes
and my ears are burning from all of human's wicked lies
I believed one too many times that hope was found
but it left me broken and lost feeling homeward bound
and the spirit that used to be so free has been abused
but now I know exactly where I need to go, who I need to turn to
Chorus
and I want to trust you
but I'm not sure I know how
cause like a drug
trust has poisoned me too many times
and my bleeding soul longs for you
the only one who can save me
so my God, please bandage my soul
and draw me close to you
on my knees I feel you near me once more
like a little child I run to your arms like before
shame and doubt has kept me away for too long
and I guess I got a little too far gone
but even now I have the urge to back away
cause pain has left me with nothing to say
will you think of me as less of a person tonight
if I just tell you I love you and then cry
chorus
there's a little too much bottled up inside
and I don't even have the words to describe
so let this be my prayer to you today
take it and accept it as you may
chorus
this is so beautiful and versatile that i think it has definate potential. you've not focused so much on a situation as a state of being. that in itself can be related to many, many lives. well done.
