In the Midst of Wilderness. I Thought I had It all figured. My life was what it meant to be, I didn’t know the worst, Was yet at rest. In the Midst of Wilderness. Today my back aches, The aches of success I was promised. They said “a degree will be your triumph.” But it seems like my triumph is poverty I face, In the Midst of Wilderness. I was born a happy child, full of dreams And happiness. But all I feel is sadness and shuttered dreams. Was what I did wasn’t enough? Today I ask questions That no-one can answer. ALAS! Lord can you hear my cries, In the Midst of Wilderness? Am I punished for using the roots of the earth? Nor you leave me hanging on the cross like your Son? In the Midst of Wilderness. Thou I vow, if my success is not promised… I shall lie in this deathbed. Through it, I shall be Abraham of contemporary. I shall rule against all contraries. Even In The Midst of Wilderness.

In the Midst of Wilderness
In the Midst of Wilderness. I Thought I had It all figured. My life was what it meant to be, I didn’t know the worst, Was yet at rest. In the Midst of Wilderness. Today my back aches, The aches of success I was promised. They said “a degree will be your triumph.” But it seems like my triumph is poverty I face, In the Midst of Wilderness. I was born a happy child, full of dreams And happiness. But all I feel is sadness and shuttered dreams. Was what I did wasn’t enough? Today I ask questions That no-one can answer. ALAS! Lord can you hear my cries, In the Midst of Wilderness? Am I punished for using the roots of the earth? Nor you leave me hanging on the cross like your Son? In the Midst of Wilderness. Thou I vow, if my success is not promised… I shall lie in this deathbed. Through it, I shall be Abraham of contemporary. I shall rule against all contraries. Even In The Midst of Wilderness.
