I’m told there is a purpose To every failed try A meaning to be found In every tear I cry. And yet I ask in vain To make that purpose clear, But I see no answer coming Before faith disappears. I hear another calling Another desperate plea, Another stranger in the dark Longing to be free. Release me from the power Of that which holds me down, And offer me another way Another trip around…… Around the plaguing questions The pain inside my soul, Around the poor made choices And The promises I broke. My life has been for nothing And there’s nothing left to give Nothing to be proud of A life I can’t forgive.
