Have You Ever Been There?

A Dark Time in My Life

Bud Young

Have you ever been there?

All alone

Surrounded by people

But still alone

Have you ever been there?

All alone

When your soul felt as

Dead as stone

Have you ever been there?

All alone

When your love of life

Is long gone

Have you ever been there?

All alone

Sitting there thinking

Your life is done

Have you ever been there?

All alone

Staring at a gun

Black and long

Have you ever been there?

All alone

Wishing that someone

Would take the gun

Have you ever been there?

All alone

When you decide you must

Try to go on

Have you ever been there?

All alone

Looking around

For something to hold

Have you ever been there?

All alone

Finding a light

Toward which to go

Have you ever been there?

All alone

As you follow the light

Love of life comes home

Have you ever been there?

All alone

Getting closer to the light

Your soul begins to warm

Have you ever been there?

All alone

When you find the way, the truth and the light

You realize you were never alone

If you ever get there

Don't give up

Even if you can't feel Him

You are never alone.

    Great poem. I'm sure we've all felt like we're alone atleast once in our lives, but it's important to remember that God is always there.
