Analysis of A Cry For Help
Sitting here all alone with my face turned to the wall
Wondering, where did I go wrong?
Hoping you will forgive me,
pardon my sins and bless me.
The pain is more than I can bear.
Life here on earth is so unfair
Because the trials and tribulations keeps accumulating
It hard for me to hope and dream like;
wishing one day I can be a millionaire
wanting you to answer my simple prayer.
Send your blessing down from midair.
Stop the pain Lord it's cutting off my debonair.
Lord, you are my only purveyor,
trying to be strong, crying out for your love,
wanting a closer connection.
God you know you have my most
Sincere devotion
