I know how it feels
to be despised and much unloved.
Drenched by the rain,
ever lonely, scarred and scared;
All friends gone,
backs quickly turned on you;
Still you hold on
because you're NOT DONE YET!
They talk in hushed tones,
whispering as you go;
The good you ever did
long devoured by the worms.
Though they pay you evil
for all the love you gave;
Still you hold on
because YOU'RE NOT DONE YET!
Cold weather, cloudy skies;
Torrential rains, hopeless nights;
Your strength is gone and fear abounds,
but don't forget He's near!
The darkest cloud means dawn will break
Hang on in there,
you're NOT DONE YET!
