Demon Sadness


Demon Sadness I fight the Demon Sadness When I think that it is gone I lift my head again And I tried to move along Somehow every single time It never quite lets me go The next of its attacks Will deal a heavy blow I never have a warning It never makes a sound Creeping slow in silence To knock me to the ground Each time that I fall down, It gets harder for me to rise. Every single time I fumble, Brings closer my demise. I pray for God to help me, Yet I falter in my faith. Will he really hear me And bring me sweet relief? I fight this Demon Sadness Day after lonely day I struggle through this fight And one thing I must say I can't do this by myself I feel only pain in me I need someone there to ease it someone to set me free My weakening hopefulness needs to be restored I need someone's strength When I can't do this anymore Each time that I fall down, It gets harder for me to rise. Every single time I fumble, Brings closer my demise. I pray for God to help me, Yet I falter in my faith. Will he really hear me And bring me sweet relief? I need a promised love Strength and guidance too In this fight with my demon Until my fight is through As with everyone on earth I am far from being perfect The safety of warm love My sad heart can't reflect If I stand in love's great warmth My demon would rise to leave This daily battle would be gone And I could hope and believe Each time that I fall down, It gets harder for me to rise. Every single time I fumble, Brings closer my demise. I pray for God to help me, Yet I falter in my faith. Will he really hear me And bring me sweet relief?
