Living in a city of fallen angels
What am I to do
Every night I put my hands together
Lord, I pray to you
I’ve walked these roads alone for so long
My bitter voice hushed
Silent as a mouse with each step, with each breath
But I’ve seen so much
Cold and dark is this world, full of violence and lies
Long here I have survived
But look at my face and the river of tears I’ve cried
At times I’ve almost died
But even with all the wickedness in this world
I have seen some light
Even among all the chaos and havoc
There are those who do right
So, I shall not lose hope
Even among the flames
In the distance I see clouds
And so, I’ll pray for rain.

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
