    Something To Hold on To

    The sun is resting on the grass
    And I'm a million miles from no where
    My smile and heart just got stolen
    But no one seems to care
    I spent my life trying to reach the top
    I thought it would be safe up there
    But the wind blows cold
    It blew me over, face down
    Face Down
    Between his shoe and the ground

    It's hard to get past the numbness
    Hard to see, hard to feel
    The pressure makes my veins weak
    About to burst, about to leak
    With fear, not knowing where to look
    I look to what is closest
    And in the dirt I find
    Helpless, a small plastic Jesus
    And I think to myself and say
    "I can still pray."
    "Yes, I can still pray."

    I kiss the face and look to the sky
    I haven't seen it in a while
    My worries seem to drift by
    I leave the pain, all the hurt
    Cast everything aside
    I let the rest of the world fall asleep in emptiness
    And now I am the one left standing
    With a blessing still in hand, I say goodbye
    Goodbye to the restlessness, every nightmare, all demanding
    I touch the heart of the nameless
    And go beneath an unknown sky
    Embrace the faceless
    Blurry vision as the wind blows by
