My heart weighs heavy under all this stress,
I can't help but blame you for this messed up mess.
Anger, sadness, resentment, hate,
I pray at night for the Lord to take.
Take all my pain and help me fight,
Help me try to do what's right.
I know you're hurting, I know you're sad,
There's more to this than all that bad.
I hope you know this much is true:
I never meant to hurt you.
This pain you see,
It's killing me,
Like a disease without a cure.
This helplessness I must endure.
For there is light beyond this dark,
All that's needed is a spark.
Be true, be strong,
I hope the best,
I pray for peace, not unrest.
