_* Judgment Day *_
I've searched a lifetime to find my place,
Looked far and wide for peace and happiness,
Opened doors, only to shut them again,
Closing out the sadness, burning all the fears.
I looked into my aching heart,
Seeking ... trying to find the reasons why,
Happiness is always just beyond my reach,
And I ask you Lord to tell me the reasons why.
How can ones destiny always be an inch away,
Why does hopelessness always seem to consume,
When does comfort and peace come into play,
And then I think ... does it happen on Judgment Day?
When I look into your eyes,
Will I have to look away,
Fearing I will be cast aside,
Knowing inside me how hard I tried.
But will you know the emptiness I felt,
Spending a lifetime trying to find my place,
Always trying to make you proud,
So you would open the door for me as I walked through deaths door.
I promised to honor you,
Always did my best, or what I thought would set me apart from the rest,
I think I triumphed in every test,You put before me, your child on a quest.
And I will keep searching for that happiness,
Courageously the quest will go on,
As long as it takes until I look peace in the eye,
On Judgment Day ... the day that I die. |
