Quicksand
Earthquakes, fires, and floods came
I'd like to understand
Why disasters come and go
And things get out of hand
Unexpected incidents
Guess I was not prepared
To try to weather the storms
So my heart was not spared
Suffering a broken heart
A mind that went insane
All I lost had a great cost
Upon my fragile brain
My foundation became weak
And I have also found
Where I stood was shifting sand
And very shaky ground
Like I'm sinking in quicksand
Help me, toss me a rope!
I need to get out of here
Before I lose all hope
There's no time for asking why
Or dwelling on the past
All I care about right now
Is that you help me fast
Lately I've been dependent
On you to rescue me
And on others who've been there
To quell anxiety
I just want to thank you all
For coming to my aid
You have helped my sanity
When I was so afraid
In a way you saved my life
Rescued me from that pit
From that sand, you grabbed my hand
And I'm not hurt one bit
