Fire Burning Bright

Fire burning bright Surrounded by the darkness Somehow I found the light Trying to separate fake from real I learned some wounds don't heal I made too many mistakes I know now many things that look real Turnout to be fake I didn't have patience for faith I heard too many people got lost along the way I'm too busy to be busy They say work to hard and the stress might kill me That's the risk you take for being too dedicated A quick way to have yourself self medicated But you get nowhere in life by being lazy I would get no further if, I depended on the chances people gave me So depending on myself Some chances I got to take I'm not perfect so of course I'll make mistakes I just refuse to settle for less Or get lost along the way But it's hard to find the way When you surrounded by the darkness Every time I find joy it seem to always rain Every time I gget hurt, I get left a scar Some scars never heal Even through the pain I still smile The fact remains that I'm still alive So long as I have another breath I can take another step Long as I'm moving forward I'm never looking back Long as God got my back I'm never turning back Unless it's back to the scripture.... Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
