Lyrics

11th day of may by tom hipps

why on earth should I be lying here today
paralyzed on the 11th day of may
i?m all alone
i can barely lift my head
just one step this side of dead
will i ever break the chains that are holding me down
or will i give in

who is god why does he live so far away
every time i get too close he moves away
i?m left alone
i am saddened by the loss
i don?t want to be the boss
?cause i?m never sure of what i?m supposed to do
and i?m so afraid

but then ever so softly ever so slowly
ever so sweetly i come back to life
pulling back the veil
and seeing who i really am in you

soaking up your loving kindness like a sponge
someday soon i guess i?ll have to take the plunge
i must admit
it?s a fairy tale to me
but somehow you?ve helped me see
that the only thing i?m missing
is a reason to die

and it won?t be found
