Sometimes we all just feel like giving up
Sometimes we feel like we're just too far gone
To be welcome by the One who made it all
So far we fall
But the truth is He loves us through it all
And the truth is we can never fall
Where we are too far gone
Where we're too far gone
You're never too far gone
Sometimes the walls press in on us too hard
Sometimes we break into the dark beyond
And when life is hitting harder than you're strong
It won't let up
But don't give up!
The truth is He loves us through it all
And the truth is we can never fall
Where we are too far gone (gone)
Where we're too far gone (gone)
You're never too far gone

I never actually finished this one. The second verse was a temporary placeholder, and after the second chorus there was supposed to be a bridge, which I never wrote, then a final chorus. Overall I was never satisfied with it, and as it stands the lyrics are far too shallow for my taste.
While Too Far Gone is based in my former religious beliefs, perhaps I'd like to reincarnate the root idea into a new song sometime in the future. But this particular version is no longer at work-in-progress status, so I'm posting it in accordance with my goal of tracking a viewable journey of myself through poetry over the years.
