bending in the wind

originally uploaded by [Adam_Baker].

you've been through the fire, and you're sorry that you've sinned
but your trying troubles leave you bending in the wind.
your soul is sadly broken and it sings a glum refrain
it's like a long, sad whistle of a wistful, lonely train. 

hard times have left you broken and there's no way to believe
that it will soon be over, that you'll get to stop and grieve.
your trials are on repeat, and your cry is like a song. 
it's like a skipping disc that keeps reminding you you're wrong.

i don't know the answer to your tragic hateful sorrow
and i can't promise that the sun will shine for you tomorrow. 
i don't know if there's people who'll be there beside your bed.
i don't know if you're faking it, if it's all in your head. 

but i see you bending and it breaks my heart to know you hurt:
to see the worn look in your eyes and tearstains on your shirt. 
so though i do not know you, for some reason, i don't know why,
i care for you. i always have, and will until i die.
