There are times when this life gets me down,
I feel like my hands and feet are bound,
Sinking in the River of Life, starting to drown,
Feeling so lost, like I will never be found.
The depths are the darkest, no hope in sight,
Trying to go on, not giving up the fight,
Looking for a reason to go on living,
The River of Life is uncaring, unforgiving.
Further the cold dark current does carry me,
Away from all those that could have saved me,
Deeper and deeper the waters carry me down,
To the bottom of despair, where no hope is found.
I scream as the River of Life suffocates me,
Clawing, kicking, trying to fight free,
The longer it goes on, the more I weaken,
Down, down as the hopelessness deepens.
So tired of the struggle, can't go on,
Giving up as the River of Life flows on,
Carried away from all life's endeavors,
As Death carries me away forever.
