Tears enough to drown my soul

Tears run down my face
My soul leaking out
My body aches and groans
I feel I can’t go on, I can’t move forward

The lake of tears that holds me
Overwhelms me
Grows and grows
I cannot drown, but I cannot move

The year just doesn’t end
The pain and suffering pile on

The world turns and turns
And never brings a chance
To get ahead or back to even
I don’t know how to do this anymore

The world keeps sending
Sorrow to my door
Problems bigger than my soul
Questions I cannot answer

The year just doesn’t end
The pain and suffering pile on

Every day brings another sorrow
Every evening more nightmares
On and on the sorrow goes.
The lake of tears threatens to overflow

And every addition makes me wonder
Will things be better soon?
Can I hold on until things change?
Can I survive the pain?

The year just doesn’t end
The pain and suffering pile on

And on and on it goes
While my soul drowns and calls for help
While lights grow dim
and little helps

Holding on to what I believe
Holding on to what I know
Drowning I reach up
And hope my soul will find a hold

Someday the year will end
I just can’t see it now
