Things Look Brighter

She doesn’t want to be
Dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea
Brave hearted girl
Goes out to take on the world
But comes home crying every time
She doesn’t sleep at night
She’s afraid to close her eyes
I see her walking in the street sometimes
She knows about suffering
And all about sorrow
She’s starving for the beautiful things
That people seem to believe in
She doesn’t want to be
Dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea
How long?
Waited way too long
(don't let them fool you)
Brave hearted girl
Goes out to take on the world
But comes home crying every time
We’re walking in the rain
She turns to me to say
I hope tomorrow doesn’t feel this way
She’s heard about happiness
She’s heard about Jesus
She’s starving for the beautiful things
That people seem to believe in
She doesn’t want to be
Dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea
