State Of Mind

I stand tall with an arrogant grin

Filled with pride as

I chase the dreams that are riding on the wind

In ignorant determination watch me pursue

But I'm not and they're not enough to satisfy the hunger pains of my soul

They are like fading mirages, illusions that leave me sold

To the truth That's the essence of me . . . I'm not enough .

So here I am

Broken on my knees stretching out my weary hands

Grasp them and lift me

Help me to find a rest in your arms that can change my state of mind .

I stagger the earth with one defeated sigh

I once was longing to live now

I'm longing to die

Having attained everything that I desired was not enough

Not enough to quench the thirst for life, for hope for peace

Captive to my pride now

I beg for sweet release

And then a voice breathes in whispers to my soul

"I am enough, I am enough"

Set my awkward steps straight in line

Move me to walk this life with your hand in mine.
