Can I Go Now

I need to leave this place
I need to get away
My life has been torn apart
Can you see I cannot stay

No one can hurt me
When nobody is around
But that is where I am wrong
That is why my brother drowned

How can I escape
It hurts so bad
My mind is so tired
I hate being this sad

There is one simple answer
To give me some rest
I have asked God a thousand times
But I am still giving life my best

I am an empty shell
My anger is all spent
I cannot seem to help him
His soul is far too bent

He says that God speaks to him
I wish He woud answer me
Because I am helpless and so tired
Only God can set me free.
