My heart is cold
My soul is weary
I've walked for so long
Just to be defeated in my blind fury
I've cried these desert lands rivers
Drown myself just off shore
Always looking, hoping, praying
For something so much more.
Slowly I will my eyes closed
But this dream has no end
A nightmare I must now walk
With not where to blend.
Just when I feel I've won
I've beaten life at it's wicked game
I'm smashed down again
I do good to remember my name.
Once I dreamt I was a dove
Beautiful in all ways
Then my feathers did it pluck
and now I lay here naked, cold.. ..
To these never ending days!
I love for peace and rest!
For my weary broken soul
What ever was I thinking?
To think I could be whole.
