Two good reasons

PT1

 

 Endless nights

And desperate days

Nothing seems to break

This depressing haze

 

Of a life once cherished

But now broken to hell

 I can’t seem to escape

This imprisoning shell

 

Desolate and bear

My emotions are dead

Nothing inside

But this impending dread

 

  Lifeless and spent

Are my nerves and my will

I pray to you now

Don’t let this nightmare be real

 

Please give me a sign

Or a glimpse of your face

 To at least let me know

I still have a place

 

    Or offer me your hand

And I’ll use all my might

 To grasp it in mine

And hold on to it tight

 

 Renew my torn heart

And my wandering soul

Fill it with life

And a reason to grow old

 

I’ll trust in your kindness

And praise I will give

For giving me just

One reason to live

My sanity’s back

I can see clear again

 Not wanting to return

To that place I had been

 

It all was a lie

A fake and a sham

 It made me forget

All and who I am

 

I rejoice in my freedom

 And sing life’s sweet song

 For finding my way back

To the place I belong

 

You showed me the meaning

Of what life was meant for

You gave me my wings

So again I may soar

 

So straight to them I will fly

For inside I have won

In realizing the reason

Was two, not just one

 

 It was the love and the need

Of my two beloved sons
