One More Day
ONE MORE DAY

Lord why have you forsaken me? ’’
I’ve tried to be the best I could be
I trod the lonely wilderness alone
I have lost my direction and my way home
Poignant are the nights I’ve really tried
Is it because of my foolish pride?
Faceless I stand amongst the crowd
I hear the laughter screaming out loud
Out of mind while being out of sight
Danced I have to the Devils delight
Bursting into flames at daylight
Creepy crawlers challenged to a fistfight
Now the walls are closing in
Where does it end and where does it begin
Taken so many blows to my chin
Only God knows the places I have been
Last few schillings I have spent
Lonesome dove once heaven sent
Glee now bone yard rests
For I good fortunes now detests
Useless desires now repressed
Suit of armor blacken dressed
Signaled to shore Heart’s distressed
Time shorted to a moment compressed
Idols golden I’ve never confessed
Spewing hatred I’ve never expressed
Of the flesh I’ve never been obsessed
By tyrannical overlord’s I’ve become the oppressed
When will the pain vanish without a trace?
When will I experience your true grace?
When will it end, the rat race?
When will I feel the warmth of your gentle embrace?
Set to mind granted I this task
Some many questions I must ask
Long worn my thespian mask
In your glory I want to finally bask
Help me to shine like the lights on Broadway
The finest of characters I want to display
Your blessed words I want to truly obey
Help me to realize that all will be okay
Help me to make it through just one more day
