Long long ago, I lay in bed
I felt like I’d be better off dead
I sat right down wondering why
The world would not just let me die
I spent my days thinking up reasons
To not be living through any seasons
Every time I opened my eyes
I felt like my faith was low not high

But one day I went though the change of my life
When I finally had lived through quite enough strife
I realized me living was the key to it all
I’d finally made an important call
A call to God to restore my sanity
Was all I needed to withstand humanity
A call to God gave me faith and hope
I no longer felt like hanging from a rope

Every day now I wish to live
I cannot know what each day will give
But any day that I am alive
Is better than being cut with so many knives
I never want myself to be dead
I’d rather be home eating some bread
The Lord is with me wherever I go
And I love living like you’ll never know
