Into My Own Hands

A darkened room, prayers go out like silent cries

I'm asking for truth, all that's offered are lies

Demons haunting my soul, laughing at me

I'm down in a hole, it's no desperate dream,

Can't break this spell, can't find the key

Screaming in the dark, sighing in the night

I'm begging for redemption

What life's all about

People all around me they keep on telling

You gotta crawl before you walk

You gotta cry before you talk

The wheels of time keep on rollin'

No magic mirror will erase

The lines of life carved deep in my face

I opened the door step out in the drivin' rain

Hear footsteps close behind me

Into darkness I try to carry on

All of a sudden somebody called out my name

I'm crying out for angels

The ones that strucked me down

Left me lying in the rain

Left me alone in pain

I'm swimmin' 'gainst the tide

Life's river gonna drown me

Gotta sail on stormy waters

'til my soul will find it's peace

My tortured soul in endless time

I'm ready to take a chance

At the crossroad I'll make my stand

Life's in my own hands

I'm crying out for angels...

Take my chance - take this life - make my stand
