The Prison Within

Within this flesh
there are many things
A heart  full of love
a soul that sings

There are muscles and bones
blood and a brain

Within which I wonder

if I am insane

The thoughts that come
out of this head
Always keep me afraid
that I will soon be dead

This mind that I have
is a prison within
You'll never know
just where I have been

If only you could see
but you don't have a clue
These fears that I have
will they one day come true

Peace that I feel
is with God up above
Shelter I find
is in His great love
