The Difficult Miracle


I sit alone--

In a four-cornered room
staring at candles

Dwelling in a den of despair
Sort of like Daniel

My Daddy said to, "Handle your business"
But Pop, I can't though

Somebody put a knife in my side
I'm bleeding bad now

Tears of a clown
When I cry, I'm smiling sad so

The next time you see me go down
Help me to stand bro

I pray toward the day when I can
Walk as a man would

'Til then, I'm going to stick to the plan
Just like a man should

Fears traded in for more tears
I lost my best friend

Cried, prayed and sang through the years
God bless the dead and...

The night before The Mourning, won't you--
Send me an angel

Like water breaking free of the womb,
Thats when the rain fell...
