It woke me up outta my sleep,
These thoughts and feelings won't go away,
I'm starting to think it's not temporary,
Never felt this way before in my life,
Life has a way of testing you,
I don't know what the test is about or for,
In the toughest battle of my life,
It ain't getting no easier.

Lord give me a sign,
Where do I go from here?
What do I need to do?
Why now?
Does depression run in my family?
Things were feeling better,
And then I got woken up with these thoughts,
It's getting worse not better.

I'm doing my best to move forward,
But keep getting pushed back,
I'm trying to hold on,
I don't know how much more I can hold on,
Lord help me.
These thoughts getting the best of me.
