Epilogue

I look forward to the day my prayers will be answered
A day when my sadness is turned to delight
Where happiness will return to my life once again
A reason to finally smile

Only you can break this drought of depression
Lord you have the power to turn my tears
And make them into an oasis of life
Only you can bring life to this weeping desert

I know you are a God of love and life
You see no joy in watching me suffer
And feeling my heartache, my lifelessness
Every tear that streams down is counted by you

Feel my pain and hear my cry!
I know you can do all things
That you are a God that answers prayers
A God that loves to give me joy

And because of that I sit here waiting
Waiting for the day you answer me
I know that is coming
I can hear, feel it, expect it

My days in the desert are numbered
The storm will not last long
Because you will give me your love and joy
And break down my sadness after all these years

I thank you Lord for what you are about to do
I praise you for the happiness that is about to fall on me
For the dreams that will turn into reality
Thank you O Lord, thank you with all my heart.

Prologue

There is a feeling deep inside of me
That I cannot ignore or leave
One of sadness and despair
That eats at my heart

Tears well up from my eyes
As a black hole forms inside of me
Sucking all hope and happiness
Leaving only a depressing emptiness

I can feel life flowing out of me
Bleeding away from the cut in my heart
My attachment to life is broken
A meaningless overwhelms me

There is too much pain for me to bear
I could die and feel no sorrow
No remorse for leaving this world
For this pain has ended my life

My life is a rainy day
Tears shower down every hour
Only stopping when there is no more
Sadness is but a constant drizzle

Please God make this rain go away!
Give my life some sun
And remove the death inside of me
Heal my hear O Lord, let the bleeding stop

I pray for happiness in my life
With this sadness weighing me down, I cannot continue
Answer my cry O God and give life to the dead
My only hope is you, with it balances life and death.
