"My Struggle"


I PUSH AGAINST THE SUNRISE
AND FIGHT EVERY NIGHT FALL
TEAR WELL UP IN MY SOUL'S EYES
AND ON YA NAME LORD I CALL
FEELING THE WIEGHT OF THE WORLD ON MY SHOULDER
AND HOW EVERYDAY ITS SEEMS TO GET A LIL COLDER


STRUGGLIN AGAINST SLEEP
LORD I PRAY I DONT DREAM
STRUGGLIN TO KEEP A DELICATE BALANCE
SEEMS IM ALWAYS WALKIN SOME SORT OF BEAM


SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I PRAY TOO MUCH
AND GOD IS ANNOYED
BUT LORD I AINT ASKIN FOR THE MATERIAL
JUST A BIT OF HAPPINESS LESS STRUGGLES ........ THOSE THINGS N SUCH


I HAVE DREAMS ABOUT ME HAVIN DREAMS OF AN ANGEL TO HAVE JUST FOR A
WHILE
SOMEBODY I CAN MAKE HAPPY JUST OCCASSIONALLY LAUGH N SMILE ........
SOMEBODY THAT LOVES ME FOR ME
FOR WHAT I AM AND WHAT IM ONE DAY GOIN TO BE
BUT JUST THEN I REALIZE
SOME WHERE TWEEN DUSK AND DAWN I CLOSED MY EYES
AND IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR ME


AND I WAKE TO THE SOUND OF RAIN
AGAINST MY WINDOW PANE
REFLECTIONS OF ME
TEARS SHOWIN MY PAIN
AND A ANOTHER BATTLE BEGINS
A WAR IM DESTINED NOT TO WIN
YET ITS ALL I KNO
ALARM RINGS ........... 5 :15 I GOTTA GET READY TO GO
