Escaping the Bog
















The sorrow that pulls at my heart
Is dragging my soul down.
I cannot let it suck me in.
If I give in, I drown.

The cool seduction of the pain
That draws me further in
Until I cannot see the light,
Or find a light within.

But wallowing in grief or pain
And lingering too long
Can devastate a loving soul.
It cripples what was strong.

I have to rise upon the tide
And let hope carry me,
But sorrow doesn’t easily
Let go and set you free.

I close my eyes and pray to you,
Return my faith to me,
For faith is what will lift me up,
Your love will set me free.
