(A tribute to Suicide Prevention)
When we feel no value
When our hope is gone
We think that disappearing is the only answer.
Times are tough
People are mean
And no one seems to know our pain.
Inside is darkness
A hidden torture
That sees no end and is a lie.
There is a Way
There is the Truth
There is the Life that dismantles the darkness.
Outside is OK
But Inside is tragic
Be brave and share from the Inside Out.
Our selfishness
Tries to take hold
And fix the problems, the hidden distortion.
Release the burden
Unbury the pain
That dominates this prison of night.
There is a Light
There is an Embrace
That is Faithful for all eternity.
He who made you
Sees the anguish
And cries with you unending.
His Hope is Real
His Ways are True
He wants to be friends, from the Inside Out,
From the inside out
From the inside out
He wants to be friends from the Inside Out.
True mercy and compassion
Come in waves
Waves of freedom and stability.
Open up to the One who cares
The One who loves you
From the Inside Out.
