You let yourself waste away until your so far gone

Completely unaware of the pain you are bringing on

Your spirit’s trapped and is trying to remain dormant

Why do you let these hungry demons come and torment?

We shut our eyes when we don’t want to see the violence

We close our mouths in fear of hurting so we go in silence

But don’t we all have the right to our very own opinion

Why are you sleeping child! Don’t you know God’s dominion

We fail to see how this world betrays us without an apology

Your life is so far gone, but don’t lose your soul to technology

For we live in a generation where faith is not always accepted

Many have trouble relying on this method that often gets rejected

We must awaken the inner flame that slowly seems to die

How will you ever pick yourself up if you don’t even try?

For I continue to bury myself further into the ground below

The world hurls lies and insults but I will take the blow

I’m pleading for a second chance to get things right again

I’m pushing myself past obstacles to lose all sight of sin

Though I may be gone for now, I will never be forgotten

For there’s a greater love inside this cruel world so rotten

I see how you put a song in my heart that I love to hear

You brought light into my darkness so I’d no longer fear

You sparked the beauty all around that fills up every day

You have shown us true hope so we would learn to pray

You still remain faithful and love us even at our worst

Your amazing love is enough to make any heart burst

As we cross different paths that circle around and twist

I think about the pain of those nails driven into your wrist

So as we begin to understand the depth of His great love

We no longer feel a distance between earth and sky above

We will unveil the mysteries of life and find what He can do

For He is a God that won’t forgot or ever give up on you
