Dark Days

Dark days
Like a fog they creep up on you 
Mist descends into a world of blue
The light of hope it fades far away
I try to speak but nothing do I say
Dark days
Dark days

A world of wonder it surrounds
But pain and heartache abounds
Just when you think you got a chance
Life will lead you a merry dance
All I needed was a helping hand
Someone to listen and understand 

Dark days
Surround me nothing left to believe 
Lost in the wilderness I grieve
One small step at a time I try to take
Heart and soul about to break
Dark days
Dark days

You do your best to cope and try
At times want to lay down and die
The road ahead is long and winding
A journey of pain I am finding
The meek shall inherit the earth 
I don't believe it for what it's worth 

Dark days
Can't  find any comfort or respite 
At times I want to give up the fight
I will endeavour to soldier on
A mountain to climb when hope has gone
Dark days
Dark days

Dark days
In a vortex of despair 
A maelstrom of devil may care
Surviving on a wing and a prayer
Dark days
Dark days
