the things i ve seen over the past few years have only brought despair i ve seen lies filth and greed consume our lives and all i can do is stare i ve seen the darkness in the streets overcoming my sense of innocence this is not how i thought this world would be this is not what i was raised to believe i ve seen the darkness inside me sometimes it s the only thing that i see i m running out of things to hope for god give me something to hope for jesus reveal your presence to me darkness is all i see god give me the strength to believe jesus make known your will for me god all i m asking of you is to bring me something to hope for in myself i ve seen the scum of this earth overcome the beauty i know i m called to help but the path isn t clear to me so show me
