I want. It is overwhelming me.  It's like having an itch that you just can't scratch.  

My want has nothing to do with material items.  What I want, money can't buy.  I want what, at this point, I seemingly cannot have.  And I'm frustrated.

I want peace.  I want the void in my life to be filled.  I want to do what feels right to me.  And if I can't have these things, I want the strength to make it through the day without feeling like a piece of me is missing.  

These Hard Times

by Needtobreathe

Give me something brighter
Give me something I can see
Give me something vicious
Give me something I can be
Give me all the love and peace
To end these wars
Give me something sacred
Something worth fighting for

It's clear enough to me
The ugliness I see
Is evidence of who I need

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times

Give me motivation
Give me all my heart's desires
Show me something gorgeous
Show me till my eyes get tired
Give me all the drums and
Show me how to play them loud
Show me how to move
When I can't feel that you're around

It's clear enough to me
The ugliness I see
Is evidence of who I need

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times

We hide like theives in shadows
Scared of the sun
We know the light will find us
Us and all we've done

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times
