SURLEY
Not sure what words to gather from
The world inside my head
Not sure which ones will adequately
Tell the life I’ve lead
Not sure of what my eyes behold
Not sure just what is real
But damn sure I don’t like the way
I’ve somehow come to feel
Not sure of how it all took place
Not sure where it began
Not sure just where the causes lie
Not sure I understand
Not sure what I would do if it
Were mine to do again
But damn sure it would turn out different
Than the way it’s been
For surely there’s a way out there to learn to live again
Yeah surely there’s a ray of hope with light that it can lend
Oh surely there is more to life than what there seems to be
And surely I would find it if…I simply wasn’t me
Don’t know who I can trust these days
Don’t think I trust a soul
Don’t care to hear the things they say
Don’t care to pay the toll
Don’t want to face reality
Don’t want to look inside
But damn sure I’m tired of concealing
All the things I hide
Don’t want to be the one I am
Don’t want to be this way
Don’t want to look back years from now
Regretting everyday
Don’t want to waste another minute
Doing what I’ve done
So damn sure I must start unweaving
All the webs I’ve spun
For surely there’s a way for me to learn to live again
And surely there’s a ray of hope with light that it can lend
Yes surely there is more to life than what there seems to be
And surely I will find it and there is no stopping me
Not sure how this new life will go
Not sure what it will bring
Not sure I was prepared that it
Would be so tiring
Not sure just how I’m going to find
The lonely road back home
But damn sure I don’t want to face
That lonely road alone
Not sure just what to make of all the
Doctrines that they teach
Not sure I can make sense of
What religions have to preach
Not sure I’m smart enough to figure
Out just who is right
But damn sure on my knees I’ll be
Each morning and each night
Not sure just what to make
Of these new feelings that I find
Not sure just what to do with the
Impressions in my mind
Not sure just how to thank the one
Who sent them from above
But damn sure I don’t ever want
To lose the Father’s love
For surely He’s the one to help me learn to live again
And surely He’s the source of hope and light that burns within
Yes surely there is more to life than what there seems to be
And surely now that I have found it…I am finally free
