Better Days

As I lay awake

I dream for better days

Hoping to find the peace

I desperately need

Then some days

I struggle to keep the pace

This road is too fast lane

I’m driving myself insane

I try to understand why

Things have happened this way

The unfortunate things

That’s when I knelt to pray

I cried out

For the things that were taken

The grief that left me shaken

An endless roundabout

The misery in my soul

Would soon be wiped away

When the light appeared

And said my name

Now when I lay awake

I see a different way

A future is coming

to take me away
