How I Feel

Saw my shadow on the wall
Saw my love nowhere at all
Saw my life as a hard thing to get through

When you’re born, they carry you
When you’re gone, they bury you
In between, you’re on your own
Hard to stand there
All alone

Someone crying down the hall
Dying cries, they tell it all
Lord, this life is a hard thing to live
And harder, still,
To leave
