When Life Gets Hard These Are Your Helping Words

(Verse 1)

I’ve walked my roads without shortcuts
And missed so many turns
I’ve stopped along my journey
And outright refused to learn
But somewhere in my spirit
Is a light I’ll never fully comprehend
It takes me through my painful chapters
To reach my story’s end

(Chorus)
In my deepest darkest days
I cry
In my deepest darkest days
I die
In my deepest darkest days
I learn to try
I reach for the sky
With my arms open high
And always remember who I am

(Verse 2)
This road is long, the book a million pages
At times I get so tired
I have to read and walk in stages
But there is a power beneath my feet
That allows me to float on stressful days
Not knowing how or even why
I suddenly turn that page

(Chorus)
In my deepest darkest days
I cry
In my deepest darkest days
I die
In my deepest darkest days
I learn to try
I reach for the sky
With my arms open high
And always remember who I am

(Verse 3)
The voyage traveled is my narrative
Remembering who I am imperative
It’s my contribution to this place
I signature in stone…
It’s not the battles failed,
it is the journey flown

(Chorus)
In my deepest darkest days
I cry
In my deepest darkest days
I die
In my deepest darkest days
I learn to try
I reach for the sky
With my arms open high
And always remember who I am

I will affirm; I’ve made a difference
Remembering who I am,
please remember who I am

I wrote this one in the late 1990s and the early 2000s as my own personal anthem to keep going through all of those challenges we face.
