A Cry of Life


I can see how you\'d lead me
through this life
Oh how it bled me

Leaving me cold and empty
with a little hope
In the end there is plenty

I just can\'t see afar
I need light
to shed the dark

You said to trust you
I do
inside I\'m still blue

Where\'s the joy?
where\'s the new life?
where are you?

I confessed your name
ignoring the lies
I took the blame

My reward is shame
life of struggle
heart of pain

I reap what I\'ve sown
with good measure
let me live the life you\'ve shown

Oh hear my cry
show me the new life
or must I die?
