I hope this letter finds you in good spirits,
and you’re feeling alive.
Me, I’ve had some better days, but I’m still
trying to get by,
and I would like to join the club
and lose myself in love,
but just now
I’m not doing so well.
I can’t tell you if I’m seeing clearly,
when I’m in this state,
or if my perspective filter
is too muddy to relate.
And I’m embarrassed to say
that my love has gone away,
and just now
I’m not doing so well.
I’m not doing –
but it’s just God’s way,
God’s way
of breaking me down
and tearing me out,
out of the world.
It’s just God’s way,
God’s way
of breaking me down,
of tearing me out,
out of the world.
Like watching television
on a sunny afternoon,
I am restless and I’m bored, and
all my thoughts are out of tune.
And the passions of youth
fight the flashes of truth,
and just now
I’m not doing so well.
I’m not doing –
but it’s just God’s way,
God’s way
of breaking me down
and tearing me out,
out of the world.
It’s just God’s way,
God’s way
of breaking me down,
of tearing me out,
out of the world.
