Thinking Alone

Sitting alone in the darkness of my mind
Leaving everything in the world behind
Thinking of what I should do.

I've taken some time to think about life
And how it's been cut away with a knife
And it's me that has to get it back.

I've dealt with struggle, I've dealt with pain
But I've still never danced in the rain
And with the time I have left, could I still?

I've seen the others, so happy and bright
Seeming as though they never have to fight
But I know I do, It's all I do, and all I could ever do.

Seeing the world through another's eyes
Seeing things differently is no surprise
And understanding ensues.

If I could, only for a moment, I would
And if it is my path in life, I should
But is it? I don't know.

Walking the halls and corridors
Everyday, such a chore
Never the less, it must be done.

You must think about life and all it will bring
From the time you can talk to when the wedding bells ring
Think about your past, present, and future.

A day will rise when you know what to do
When God comes down and beckons for you
To do his work, in his righteous way
Without complaints, without pay

Where will you be when that day comes
When trumpets sound along with drums
And your time to tell what you have done
To no one else, but the righteous one

The day will come, I know this true
And I hope on that day, I'll be with you
But until then, here I stand
Waiting for your outstretched hand
