"He prays"
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

People pointing fingers at him
Judging eyes all around
He's tangled in a sad man's web
He's lost but never found

He's been walking up hill for years
Struggle dance on his face
Life painted him invisible
Caught in a cold embrace

He's an emotional fountain
He's crying hopelessly
Feel like a stranger to his friends
Inhaling lies daily

He prays - Begging for a better life
He prays - Pleading for some peace inside
He prays - On his fragel knees at night
And for just a moment
his misery...Seems to end!!

Prayer indeed can bring peace, and can fill one with hope to find a better way...very nice, Brian...
