If There Was a Time

Hess

Lord give me the strength to fight the things I can change

And find me comfort in things that will be

Show me a road that I could take

That never leads

To an empty life along

Just take me to a place

Where I could lift myself on a pedestal

And don't let me fall

'Cause in my state of mind

In my state of mind

I'm worried what I might say or do

Steel bars they start to close around my feet

I'll never leave

I walked with a devil on my shoulder

Everyday

It left me the scars that I will wear

Over me

And the withered hands of time

Still reaching out for me

Try to rip me off my pedestal

And force me to crawl

When all my dreams are strangled

I don't want to live

Now this noose around my neck

Has found a comfortable fit
