The Beaten Soul

You wish you had the certainty
To make it through the day
The power to say "I can"
And I will in every way
But it's hard on the beaten soul
To find that hope to go on
To wake up and know
You're going to be ok
To find the peace and serenity
To calm your fearful dreams
When all you see around you
Are liars and thieves
And it's hard at the end of the day
When you lie in bed alone
And think of all the things
That ever went wrong
And the wounds grow in deeper
Each and every single day
You can't find a way out
You're lost in the game
You're buried by your pain
In the darkness you remain
Until someone comes to find you
And guides you back to light again
Oh it's hard on the beaten soul
To find comfort in pain
To know that at the end of the day
There won't be a storm after the rain..
