Thinking back to the days that have past
Something kept happening me
That I could not get past
What could have I done Lord to deserve all this pain
Why does everyone keep leaving me
I could not deal with the pain
My ignorance led me to things to take me away
Not knowing the hold it would have
That eventually everyone would go away
Have you ever felt alone
A feeling I hope no one ever feels
It turns out I was never really alone
Recalling a day I fell down on my knees
Literally crying out to God
Please Lord I can’t take no more, why me
I kicked and screamed and begged and pleaded
My soul was tired
I felt completely defeated
Then peace picked me up
Placed me on my feet
Go forth my child
Do not see it as defeat
I want you to realize this is a lesson
But also a blessing
I need you to follow my lead
And be a blessing
To someone who may be struggling
With no hope
Your words could keep them afloat
Help pull them out
Of their dangerous despair
Let them know hope
Has always been there
Tell them to lean on me
And how I carried you
And what miracles you did see
Your footprints are meant for so much more
Take your experiences
Be a blessing for so many more
