Oh, Jesus, are you listening?
I forget how to pray.
The folks you gave for guidance, lord,
You took them all away,
And left me here to walk alone,
Beloved I have none-
I am nobody's brother now;
I am nobody's son.
It's not my place to question you,
Divinity, I'm not,
But for a man as young as i
You've put me through a lot.
So Jesus, if you're listening,
And truly have my back,
Now would be a perfect time
To cut a guy some slack.
I don't feel that I'm owed a thing,
I know I'm not exempt,
And all of us know suffering
At times we all have limped.
But lord, I'm barely crawling now,
I lack the strength to stand.
I'm not asking a bailout, lord,
I only need a hand.
Help me get back up on my feet,
I can take it from there.
I haven't asked for anything,
I think it's only fair.
I'm not the child that lost his world.
No longer- I have grown.
But right now, Lord, I need a hand,
I can't do this alone.
