LOST SOULS

I've been this way since my mother died
all I do is cry
people I love have all deserted me
my relationships end before they begin.
God takes everyone away from me in the end
I just don't know why.
I'm wandering through life, not being touched
or touching others.  I just don't care.

I'm tired of chasing dreams that never come to pass
my hearts shattered like broken glass
on the sidewalk.
I'm caught between heaven and earth
wandering through life, going this way and that.
It just doesn't matter anymore.
I feel the old familiar pain again
I'm broken and alone and
you're drifting away
it's like I never knew you...

My child, wipe the tears from your eyes
it's okay to try
put me up on your shoulders
let me carry your weight
seek and you shall find
you are never alone
you are forever loved
I'm always here
let hope arise.

I've been this way since my sister passed
it happened years ago.
It came on suddenly and I still haven't gotten over the crash
it blew my mind
and I lost my soul.
I used to see you all the time but now,
you've gone away.
I've lost your prescience. 
I'm blind as the veil has covered me.
I want to see again.
I miss you.
I'm spiritually adrift.

My marriage is in ruins
I go to extremes to save it but it's no use.
I know what's going on
I can't let go of the all too familiar pain,
it's the only thing keeping me sane.
I'm a broken shell of what I once was.
I try to pick up the pieces of my broken life
but it's hard when everything is in strife...

My child, wipe the tears from your eyes
it's okay to try
put me up on your shoulders
let me carry your weight
seek and you shall find
you are never alone
you are forever loved
I'm always here
let hope arise.
