Breath blew right out of me
 Like wind across a window ledge
 My old forgotten ways
 Came rushing back on me
 The world that held no interest
 Gave way to somber days

 So many somber days I felt so all alone
 (In my suffering I was home)
 So many somber days I was so unaware
 Of almost anything but my suffering

 How can our sight become so severely limited
 We cannot see beyond
 The step we're about to take, the love that we did not make
 The years so swiftly gone

 So many somber days I felt so all alone
 (In my suffering I was home)
 So many somber days I was so unaware
 Of almost anything but my suffering

 And I felt unsure under a winter sky
 Coldest sun seemed so far away
 Who can heal a heart that's made of clay?

 If you're feeling down today
 If you're dreading your next breath
 You hurt down to the bone
 There is someone here with us
 God is close as your next breath
 He won't leave you alone

 Through your somber days when you feel all alone
 (All your suffering he has known)
 Through your somber days
 When you feel like no one cares
 (Touch your memory: he is there)
 Through these somber days
 All these somber days
 (He will walk with you all the way)
 No matter how it hurts please stay here one more day
 Help is on the way
 There'll be no more suffering
