Tom Hipps: Music
11th Day of May (acoustic version)
(Tom Hipps)
Why on earth should I be lying here today
Paralyzed on the eleventh day of May
I'm all alone I can barely lift my head
Just one step this side of dead
Will I ever break the chains that are holding me down
Who is God why does he live so far away
Every time I get too close he moves away
And I'm left alone I am saddened by the loss
I don't want to be the boss
'Cause I'm never sure of what I'm supposed to do
But then ever so softly ever so slowly
Ever so sweetly I come back to life
Peeling back the veil and
Seeing who I really am in you
Soaking up your lovingkindness like a sponge
Pretty soon I guess I'll have to take the plunge
I must admit it's a fairy tale to me
But somehow you've set me free
And the only thing I'm missing is a reason to die
And it won't be found
