I was just sitting in the library the other day, and decided to work on some lyrics because I haven't written any lately. So I'm staring at the blank page, and nothing's coming to mind. Then I realize that I forgot to pray before starting. So I pray and ask God to put His words on the page and speak through me. I literally just started writing, and without any editing, this is what I found when I finished, I don't even have a title for it yet:

Dark, dark it's so dark around me
I can't find my way, I need, I need, I need
I need a light
Oh, so glorious light
But it's nowhere to be found
I felt the wall for a switch but,
Oh, the dreaded smoothness there's no switch to be found

It's so dark
It's so black
I can't find a light
It's so blank and meaningless

Cold, cold it's so cold around me
The slimy, dirty walls I need, I need, I need
I need some life
Oh, so glorious, beautiful life
But it's nowhere to be found
I crawled the endless tunnel but no life was found

It's so dark,
It's so black,
I can't find light
It's so cold and meaningless

Somewhere, out of nowhere
Yeah I saw a shaft of light
It had a voice - It had a touch
And it spoke to me and with all my might
I tried to hear but all I heard was
COME COME!
The voice was so loud and quiet
But the voice was so high and low
But somehow I knew and
Somehow I felt
It was divine and it spoke to me

He gave me that light
He gave me that life
It was somewhere to be found
And you know you want it too
So open up your ears
And open up your heart
And let your soul hear
There's a light

hey that's pretty cool, keep it up! :)

most of my lyrics center around depression, rejection, cutting, etc. if you only read the first verse to my song A Way (one of my favorites), you'd think I seriously needed counseling :P i'll go ahead an dpost it:

Lost in the realm
Of darkness and confusion
Can't see where I'm goin'
Wonderin' if I will go home
Will I do it tomorrow?
Will I do it tonight?
I'm not sure just yet
The pills in my desk
Can't take this much longer

I'm running a risk
With time and my mind
I'm running a risk
With faith and my soul
Which way to turn?

Take me away
I'm crying
Show me a way
I'm shouting
Tell me of a way
A way, a way out

I thought I was gone
Into death and false hope
Thinkin' of leavin'
Wonderin if I've got a home
Will I do it tomorrow?
Will I do it tonight?
I'm not sure just yet
The prayer in my head
Can't take this much longer

I'm running a risk
With time and my mind
Running a risk
With faith and my soul
Which way to turn?

Take me away
I'm crying
Show me a way
I'm shouting
Tell me of a way
A way, a way out

I've heard there's a way
I've been to that place
Where they say, 'Jesus Christ'
But I just, I just don't know

They say that I'm just
"Going through a phase"
That I'm just a child
"Put on a brave face"
But I've finally opened
To John 3:16
And realized that
THere's a way out
Whoa!

I've found the Way
I'm dancin'
I've found the Way
I'm singin'
I've found the Way
the Way, the Way out

I know there's a Way
I've been through that phase
Where they say "Just grow up"
But I just, want you to know
Too

That there is a Way
I'm crying
There is a Way
I'm shouting
THere is a Way
a Way, a Way
a Way, a Way,
Out!
