Dark River

Tonight I walked down to the river

And I stared up at the sky

It's been a while since I've seen the stars

And I'd been living such a lie

Maybe they'd help me find

The answers to my prayers

Could there be some peace of mind

In my wistful, lasting, stares?

And I watched the darkened water

Fade to blackened gray

Something deep inside me shouted,

You are going to be okay!

I wanted to believe it

I wanted to be fine

I was ready to move on

I was done wasting time
