Inside My Soul

I lost all hope when my friend died

I lost my soul with each tear I cried

I was a shell, but to all I lied

Because I had nothing left inside

I slipped away as I felt alone

No where I went was my home

A smile I wore, but no joy in me

My shame was I had become empty

I walked the path that laid out before

With no desire inside for more

To think of them and not to be

Was the only choice for me

At night I cried for all I'd lost

My sorrow deep, my soul the cost

I lay alone in an empty bed

Closed off my heart, turned off my head

When hope stepped in I saw a light

To face my life through all my fright

And take the step to lead me home

Inside my soul, to be my own
