Seeing all around me in pain
No where to look or hide from the cries
Death is all around me, yet I am safe
I am nothing more than a vistor in this land of in between

People crying out in pain and fear
Children weeping at their parents pain
Nurses running around, always falling just short of stopping the pain
Doctors with such serious looks, keeping their heads bowed

Where am I?
Do you know?
Can you too help me see the way out?
Depression is growing strong
I see no release in sight

Help me explain to myself why I can't do more
How me to understand how I can go on?
Tell me please how to shut off my feelings
For where I am at now is truly a dark place

I feel that there is no escape from the grasp of death
I see only the smallest reasons not to give up
Yet, even that is growing weaker
Please show me the light
Let me know the way that I can release the pain

Is there a way?
Can it be done?
Please tell me yes
