1The Book
Scared
Broken
Torn
Forgotten
I sit alone up in my room
Trying to pull myself back together
I'm cold, tired and all alone
Thinking of all we've been through
I glance over at my bedside table
The Book stares up at me
Open Me
I lean forward and take it into my lap
Turn each page
Fill your soul
Let the scriptures change you
Let Me be your friend
Take comfort in Me.
They all stare at me
They think I'm crazy
I'm pushed away
I'm forgotten
I sit in my desk
Their eyes pelting into the back of my neck
Scared and frightened
I reach into my binder
The Book stares up at me
Open Me
I lean forward and take it into my lap
Turn each page
Fill your soul
Let the scriptures change you
Let Me be your friend
Take comfort in Me.
You watch me
You think you know me
You think I'm that God-crazy person
You think I'm friendless
What happens to you when everyone deserts you?
What happens when everyone deserts me?
You're alone
I'm never forgotten
I glance down at my hand
The Book stares up at me
Open Me
I lean forward and take it into my lap
Turn each page
Fill your soul
Let the scriptures change you
Let Me be your friend
Take comfort in Me.
Turn each page
Fill your soul
Let the scriptures change you
Let Me be your friend
Take comfort in Me.
