Helpless

I hope that I do find light.
Something warm, and bright.
Something above, and beyond life.
A feeling place, that's always right.
And that I might remember it,
When things seem touched with blight.

I cannot make this journey on my own
Am this minute weary to the bone.
Right now I seem very small and alone.
Wish I'd seen where light in happy endings
To wake my mind and move imaginations wings.
Something I forget, when, as now, so heavy it all seems.

A fantasy? , lets see, what words might come my way?
Would you have me take you far from this place?
Wrap my arms round you and carry you far, far away?
Anywhere where we might have an inner peace.
Maybe near the top of the world. or far to the east?
Or would you rather stay around and face the beast

The beast is not a figment of imagination
She is real and has a vicious henchman
Destroying all, is on her mind, her passion
Should we stay and let them consume me?
I have no more fancy to fight can't you see?
If we go all will be lost, we're just getting by, barely

I am in desperate need for some true healing
Your the rock, the one who keeps me from drowning
Without your strength, I would just keep floundering
I thank God he heard my prayer and sent me you
Without you holding me up, to the world, I'd say adieu
You are the wind beneath my wings, Chris I love you
