If Only For An Hour

Don’t leave me here
I’ve had my fill

These worthless words
Never enough to heal

Contagious thoughts
Deceiving minds

Silent prayers
Shattering dark of night

Wasted days speed ahead
Paralyzed moments slow and dead

Useless hearts slowly bleed
Memories, the past that breed

Let me play these spades
Before my color fades

Fighting to steal the day
Pretending to find my way

Just say the words
I know you can say

Use Your influence
Use Your power

Fill this void
Fill this hour

Lay down this head
Tired from the maze

O Sing me a song
Get me through this night

Reveal your glory
Your shining light

And all will be well
If only for an Hour…
