I look in your eyes
And I know
I don't want to do this
But the kids must eat
Their shoes no longer fit their feet
School fees are due
And it's so cold
We gotta keep the heat
And I love their little faces so much
I would really love
Just to give them a treat
So I look back in those strangers' eyes
And I silently plead
Please don't make me do this
But they don't care
They don't see the struggles
The pain
The bills
The kids
Just another stranger
Another damn creep
So I pop them pills
And I fill the cup all the way up
Until my brain goes so still
So I can't even feel
God. Please help me heal
Living this kinda way
My soul
I kill
And all I really want
Is just to heal
And not have to feel
All this pain
God you sent the rain
You cleansed my soul
And there's not so much pain
Every day you make a way
If I would of trusted you sooner
Maybe my heart wouldn't of ended up
So rusted
Life so busted
But it's ok now
My heart is full
It's your praises I sing
It's to you my hands
Are raised.
God you get all my praise!
