DROWNING IN OUR GRIEF
When The Natural Flow Of Life
Has Been Artificially Damned
By The Mental Trash We Have Thrown
Into The Free Flowing Waters
From Which Our Dreams Are Drawn
We Will Need A Clean Up Crew
To Get Our Lives Going Again

If We Are All Born
Without A Book Of Instructions
That We Can Follow Into The Future
And We Are Never Taught
To Wisely Use The Assets We Own
We Are Likely To Remain Lost
In The Low Places Among The Poor

People Who Wander Into The World
With No Specific Plans Or Prospects
And Who Are Unable Find Enlightenment
In The Tunnel Where They Are Traveling
Appear Doomed To Blindly Follow
Their Feeling Of Fear
Through The Darkness Of Their Self-Doubts

In Our Desperate Attempt
To Find Our Self-Respect
In The Shadows Of Our Own Insecurities
We Retreat Deeper Into The Spiritual Dungeon
Where The Bad Seeds Of Our Suffering
Seem To Multiply In The Human Mind

After Having Traveled So Long Without A Map
Up And Down The Road To Ruin
Giving Up And Dropping Out
Are The Solutions We Often Seek
As Our Way Of Acknowledging
All The Mistakes We Have Made

Stretched Beyond Our Emotional Resources
And Exhausted By Our Uphill Battles
With The Demons Of Despair
We Are Tempted To Throw In The Towel
And Accept Our Faith As Failures

To Keep From Drowning In Our Own Grief
We Will Need To Get In Touch
With The Teacher We Trust
Who Has The Knowledge We Need
To Deliver Us From The Dumps
