Contentment: The (I'm)possible Quest

Even when things are right, they're wrong
There's a demon around the corner all along
One problem solved and another arises
Things are looking sunny than alas surprises
Where are the sunrises as I never find the source
I need to change course, I'm sick of all this remorse
Going down the path of the long and narrow
Where the nonstop strikes and nonstop arrows
Rain down on me like darkness in the sky
Reign down on me oh Host of the skies

There's more to life than breath
There's more to dying than death
Come help me Lord in my time of need
Come Shepherd and I'll follow the lead

Darkness descends in my despair
Watch myself recoil in my lair
The shouts of doubt and uncertainty are consuming
And the end of my life and my sorrows is looming
Witness the follies and trips of a sinner amongst saints
As my presence corrupts and begins to taint
My soul is tarred and scarred
My demons have gone too far
My God, my God why have you forgotten me?
I need your essence to cleanse my rotten me


There's more to life than breath
There's more to dying than death
Come help me Lord in my time of need
Come Shepherd and I'll follow the lead

A sense of strength comes at last
As my soul has finished its fast
Like a beggar deprived of necessities
You've come and saved the least of these

There's more to life than breath
There's more to dying than death
Come help me Lord in my time of need
Come shepherd and I'll follow the lead
