Thorn
by Doug Hallock, Broken

Album: Thorn

Another cup of Maxwell House is splashing down my throat
Picking up my pen again
Gonna do the thing I love
Next thing I know people are staring down at me
Asking me if I'm alright
Someone says "He seized"
Oh God please no
Did it happen again?
Why can't I think?

Won't let it get the best of me
Swear I won't go down without a fight
Ain't gonna run away from this
Ain't gonna let it take me out
I wanna be a priest Lord
One who made me up just like I am
One who won't give up on me
We all got our cross to bear

Don't really matter how long
Been messing around with this
My shame is just the same as the first time I was hit
It's time to stand up and be the man I am
Brain I got keeps shorting out
Neighbor's got no legs
Oh God so what
I'm the luckiest man
You believe in me

Sometimes I wanna trade this cross for something else
Sometimes I can't accept my stuff is self induced
But I have come to know that you are God alone
Help me be grateful for this life you've given me
Oh God thank you, for loving me
I believe in you

Won't let it get the best of me
Swear I won't go down without a fight
Ain't gonna run away from this
Ain't gonna let it take me out
I wanna be a priest Lord
One who made me up just like I am
One who won't give up on me
We all got our cross to bear
We all got our cross to bear
We all got our cross
To bear
