Then And Now



Another day has come and past
Another day has gone too fast
Everyday just feels the same
Another day a brand new game
Tomorrow is here before you know
No time to rest get up let's go
I wish that I could figure out why
It hurts so bad with each failed try
Tell me why I don't understand
Why my life feels like a dry desert land
I need something to set me free
Why does all this happen to me
When my soul flies free like a summer breeze
Here comes the chill the next big freeze
Lord light a fire under my heels
For if you do in awe of you I'll kneel
Show me now what I always knew
Life is much better if I am seeking you
