From The Deep

Do you know what it's like to have nowhere to go?  
And the answer to every desperate question is no  
And some people you love turn their backs to you  
And there's no solution you don't know what to do  
And if you venture outside you're met with evil eyes  
And the words that you speak are contemptible lies  
And when you look in the mirror you ache so bad  
And you think of your losses and all that you had  
And you don't want to live but you don't want to die  
And with lust for revenge shake your fist at the sky  
And you find you are not the same man as before  
And there's nothing in life that you fear anymore  
And you don't really care if your future looks grim  
And you know that you're sunk so it's easy to swim  
And to your surprise find that you still want to live  
And you have to accept some damn way to forgive  
And you do it and see yourself move through a gate  
And as you pass through it feel it's not too late  
And at that moment your sun starts shining again  
And the fury at the world dissipates with your pain  
And you allow someone special to enter your life  
And you know it was worth all the trouble and strife  
And you're riding a wave with all the winds behind  
And you're humble now and you're happy and kind  
And you raise your arms to the heavens above  
And you know gratitude and you cherish the love
