the key

i'm sinking
in the quicksand of life
the fog is so thick
i can barely see through it

i should be elated
i should be filled with joy
thanks to God's grace and mercy
instead all i feel is anger and defeat

the three ring circus
spirals around and around me
on the brink of chaos
and leaving me on the brink of insanity

i have a new set of keys
keys that hold endless possibility
but the key i really want
has been taken away from me

stop the train
i need to stop
need to find more strength
to figure it out one more time

so hard to draw near to you
O God
please draw near to me
remind me of your peace

i need that so much right now
