The Bright Side
Discovering Light: Michael Bradford's Journey through Darkness
Lyrics
I sit around and wonder why nothing seems to work
I contemplate why nothing in my life seems to be functioning as expected.
I could get up and make a change but I know it would hurt
I acknowledge the potential for positive change, but I fear the pain it might bring.
Sometimes I waste away my days and pray I was not here
At times, I idly spend my days, wishing I were elsewhere and not present in my current situation.
Sometimes I wish it all would end and I could disappear
Occasionally, I desire an end to everything, hoping to vanish from existence.
I take another weary step into the moonless night
I take a hesitant step into a dark, uncertain period of time.
I tell myself I'm almost there, I've almost found the light
I reassure myself that I am close to finding enlightenment or resolution.
What happens when this world will end and I will go back home?
I ponder what will happen when life as we know it concludes, and I return to my origin or spiritual home.
What if I open up my eyes and find I am alone?
I fear the possibility of awakening to find myself isolated and alone.
