[Verse 1]

Another 24 hours pass, sand fills the bottom of my hourglass

Feels like I’m out of gas, had to learn to shower fast

Cause the hot water disappears quick, got the bill but I’m out of cash

I’ve already got a stack

And I can’t save it so I pray that these candlewicks I’ve got will last

My cable was basic, now I’ve got to pass

In the mirror saying Usher’s lyrics, like “You Got It Bad”

Man it’s cold outside, my room is no better

And the weight that I take on my shoulder is no feather

The hate that’s breaking my faith and chasing away

Any chance I’ll get taken away, is like an old letter

Cause no matter how many times I try

Or read it, it never changes, in the end, I die

Spent my whole life thinking the truth was a lie

Now in the midst of my struggle I cry out God, why

[Verse 2]

Cause it’s hard for me to understand the pain

Love to see the flowers, but don’t wanna need the rain

Coach pulled me off the bench, how I’m stuck in this game

Rather have a dollar bill, guess I’m reluctant to change

And they say, that I shouldn’t complain

Like they've walked in my shoes, or thought in my brain

Or talked in my voice, or drove in my lane

Or fought for my joy, or could hold up my strain

But, this is my cross to bear

Not a pendent on a necklace that your child wants to wear

But a burden full of stress that has my eyes full of tears

Something’s screaming I can make it, but I’ll die full of fear

Cause it’s too hard to dream

When there’s so much on my mind that I’m too scarred to sleep

And my body wants to die, so my heart can be free

But my soul gives me life, so I’ve got just to breathe

That’s what I call inspiration

Pick up the phone, call in to stations

Life’s backwards, its hard just to face it

So if you’re struggling, relax you can make it

Those are the words that pulled me through the dark nights

Don’t get it twisted, never had a hard life

Just bad vision, never looked through God’s eyes

Til I realized that I’m blind if I don’t try
