Holding On To Hope

When the darkness sweeps across my gaze
cuts my sight off from my higher power
I know I don't have to search far for a ray of hope
Kneeling down, head lowered
conversing with God
While there's so many things that feel wrong in my life
I know God is guarding me from more than
I can handle
(If I keep my heart and mind focused)
and everything in this world isn't just about my self will
Yeah
I may come across swamped in darkness and wallowing in self pity
but I just need to unload so my soul can breathe
(chipping away the granite encasing my heart)
so I can see the beautiful people and things around me,
so I can truly be grateful for everything I've overcome and experienced
