Songwriter Diaries

Here I go again, all the thoughts within, 
circling my head
I can’t seem to win, fighting off this sin, 
finding ways to mend

Even in my praying I am contemplating
All the ways I worry and I fault
 
What will it take?
What is the cure?
What do I live this misery for?
How will I learn?
How do I heal?
How can I bear the pain that I feel?
God if you’re listening to me
Help me be still
 
I seem to lose my days in a messed up haze, 
I can take no more
I’m without a sword and without a shield 
in this internal war
 
Even in believing, I am lost and grieving
Who I was before this took its toll
 
What will it take?
What is the cure?
What do I live this misery for?
How will I learn?
How do I heal?
How can I bear the pain that I feel?
God if you’re listening to me
Help me be still
 
I might not be alone but I sure am feeling lonely
How could you love someone like me?
I’m scared of being like this
I’m scared of being trapped in
All of the weaknesses you see
God, I am listening
 
What will it take?
What is the cure?
What do I live this misery for?
How will I learn?
How do I heal?
How can I bear the pain that I feel?
God if you’re listening to me
Oh are you listening to me?
You’re my only remedy
Help me be still
Help me be still
Help me be still

What is Songwriter Diaries?

I've been writing songs since I was around 15 years old, well over half my lifetime ago. Figured it was time to be brave and share them somehow. Music has always been a saving grace in my life and my hope is that listening helps you in some small way, just as composing has helped me.
