Behind the smile and twinkling eyes
Are thoughts so dark and deep
About a world of deceit and lies
Where a soul can get no sleep

You try to live, to laugh, to play
You struggle to be kind
But thoughts of things done yesterday
Fill up your clouded mind

You're lost and hurt, you're reaching out
For hands that don't reach back
You've prayed to God in whisper and shout
Lord, give me all I lack

No answers come and soon you tire
Of this game that we call life
A daily struggle through muck and mire
God, help me through this strife

And suddenly a moment comes
When answers are no more
You look for God in all the sums
What did this happen for?

I tell you how, my dearest friend
He'll answer you in prose
He knows the Truth until the end
Here is what I propose

Let ME be your religion
Help me sing your soul
Let me hold and comfort you
Let me make you whole
