Bless
(c) 2003 Brian Madison

I'm 30 miles below the earth
I feel you walking by
I try so hard to reach you
But I am paralyzed
I know outside it's daytime
But to me it's black as night
And so I count my blessings
And start to feel alright

Bless yesterday and bless tomorrow
Bless the smoke and bless the air
Bless serenity and sorrow
Bless the promise and despair
I pray for understanding
But it's such a lonely fight
Bless the darkness, bless the grey, and bless the light

How could I explain to you
The man within the man
Who tries so hard to set him free
Doing everything he can
Dysthymic sense of balance
Is all that he would ask
And so I say this blessing
And set him on his task

Bless the pain and bless the healing
Bless the hope and bless the dread
Bless the thinking and the feeling
Bless the living and the dead
I pray to be enlightened
And I try with all my might
Bless the darkness, bless the grey, and bless the light

In our endless search for meaning
Me and my shadow self
Seems no matter where I am
I'm always somewhere else
He and I go wandering
The graveyard of my mind
I close my eyes and bless the quest
And see what we may find

Bless the beauty and the sadness
Bless the enemies and friends
Bless the sanity and madness
Bless beginnings, bless the ends
If I could just believe it
Then one day I'd get it right
Bless the darkness, bless the grey, and bless the light

Bless this day the Lord has made
For times when I forget to breathe
Bless this day the Lord has made
I disappear into myself
Forgive me all my contradictions
Thanks for asking, I'm okay
As I forgive the world outside
Ignore the storm the storm behind my eyes

Bless the joy and bless the grief
Bless the solitude and noise
Bless the worry and relief
Bless the little girls and boys
I try so hard believing
That one day I'll get it right
Bless the darkness, bless the grey, and bless the light

Bless the truth and bless the lies
Bless the anger and the peace
Bless the loved and the despised
Bless frustration and release
I pray to face the pain of change
Not all good, but it's alright
Bless the darkness, bless the grey
Bless the darkness, bless the grey
Bless the darkness, bless the grey, and bless the light
