Feelings

words and music by Micah Fickett and unknown author

I sing to voice my soul
But no song comes from my old guitar
I write my emotions
An empty page screams back at me

Chorus
How can it feel so painful
            To feel nothing?
How can I keep on going
            Tonight?

I saw the girl I have not
It reminded me of feelings that I once got
Today I saw her face
But I left without any embrace

Chorus

I hear sounds through the water
Life is distant; I am submerged
I spend time in wandering
But never find myself to be arriving

Cast me not away
From thy presence oh Lord
Take not thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore onto me
The joy of thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me

Lord because it feels so painful
            To feel nothing
Lord please keep me going
            Tonight
