cut the deck and deal it blind
transparent's hard to have to find
ice is warm when we are cold
invisible's hard to have to hold
smiles hard enough to bequeath
whenthere's nothing underneath
hard to have faith in things above
when there's nothing left to love
sleep, baby, sleep
the days seem longer when you weep
cry, baby, cry
the river rages, bleeding dry
it's hard enough to be a saint
when everyone has lost the faith
hard enough to face the fears
when the illusions disappear
hush, now, bow your head
there are worse things yet to dread.

lines 2 and 4 describe the searching that goes on in life- most of the time we dont know what we are really looking for- and when we find it, we don't realize it. thanks for reading!!!
