Mountain Of Sorrows

By: PennRock

Anxiously here I sit 
upon a mountain of sorrows 
barely made it through today 
don't know if I'll see tomorrow 
the resolution to my problems 
is nowhere within my reach 
I'm struggling to cross this bridge 
got several blisters on my feet 
that's the price that I pay 
in hopes of gaining a better life 
been in this tunnel for so long 
damn will I ever see the light? 
Lord if you're out there shine it bright 
don't leave me hanging on the rack 
guide me through my troubles 
help me get my life back on track 
along with all of the runners 
on the path to success 
we're all chasing the same thing 
why should my reason mean any less? 
ya see I'm on a quest 
with a package to deliver 
but life is working against me 
and I'm sinking below the river 
I keep swimming back to shore 
to catch my breath along the way 
giving up is not an option 
nor is procrastination or delays 
yet still here I am sitting 
stuck upon a mountain of sorrows 
I made it through today 
but will I live to see tomorrow?
