Thanks to the music

when I'm trapped in a nightmare and I can't escape

when my heart is shattered and can't be fixed with tape

when the voices in my head won't hush and it hurts to be alive

when it takes all I am and every ounce of energy to survive

when the shadows on my wall eat me up and drown me in fear

when I'm on the floor crying and breaking down is near

I turn to you and listen to your voice and the words you say

it doesn't ease my pain but it's enough to get me through the day



chorus

thanks to the music

I am still standing here

the sound of the music

it eases a bit of the fear

because of the music

I've gotten through so much

thanks to the music

I can feel God's touch



when reality and fantasy are hard to tell apart

when I feel empitiness take over deep inside my heart

when I think I can't take it anymore I've had enough

when I don't think that I can feel anyone's love

I listen to the music and I think of you

I listen to the music and it gets me through

the hurt I am feeling feels so hard to bear

but when I here the music I know that you are there

chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this about Michael W. Smith's music because his music has gotten me through so many things.  I don't know where I would be today without his music.  It always reminds me that God is always with me.
