Here I lie inside my bed
wondering what I will do,
trying to exit my head.
Where's the end? Will this be through?
Deep inside I weep so long
wondering what I will do.
Where's my life? I seek my song
but the night is never gone.
Deep inside I weep so long
asking God, "Will this pass on?"
The sun shines outside my door
but the night is never gone.
I need hope. I want to soar!
I struggle to find my wings;
the sun shines outside my door….
I try to escape these things.
I cry out—want to forget—
I struggle to find my wings.
Is there light? I think so, yet
here I lie inside my bed.
I cry out—want to forget—
trying to exit my head.
