DAWN

The sun streams though your window;
A bright morning dawns again.
A new day to rebuild your life;
To face your joy or pain.

Can you accept the way things are?
The things you can't arrange?
And can you cope without escape
Or do you want to change?

One day you feel you have control
Of what's inside your head,
And yet, some days you face the dawn
With overwhelming dread.

But you must learn to help yourself
To sort out every thought;
To ask God's help...or thank Him,
For real peace cannot be bought.
