(Verse 1) Well the sun don't shine like it used to, darlin' Dark clouds have come to steal my light My heart's as worn-out as an old country road Steelin' all my days and haunting my nights (Chorus) Oh Lord, can you hear me cryin'? This ol' mind's got me tangled in a mess Down this lonesome road, I'm walkin' Through the storm that's called depression, I confess (Verse 2) I remember sunny fields of golden wheat And laughter danced within the summer air But depression, like a shadow, settled in deep And stole my joy, left nothin' but despair (Chorus) Oh Lord, can you hear me cryin'? This ol' mind's got me tangled in a mess Down this lonesome road, I'm walkin' Through the storm that's called depression, I confess (Bridge) Down memory lane, I tread with a heavy heart Recallin' tales that once brought me cheer But as darkness consumed me, they faded away Leavin' only pain and sorrow here (Verse 3) I stumbled 'mongst the wreckage of shattered dreams Lookin' for a glimmer of hope to hold on to Depression's grip felt just like poisoned ivy Creepin' up this weary soul, turned love askew (Chorus) Oh Lord, can you hear me cryin'? This ol' mind's got me tangled in a mess Down this lonesome road, I'm walkin' Through the storm that's called depression, I confess (Verse 4) But with each tear drop that falls like summer rain A seed of hope is gently sown within my soul I won't let depression drag me down no more Won't let it take away all I strive to be whole (Chorus) Oh Lord, I feel a healin' deep within me This ol' mind starts findin' a new way Gonna rise up from the shadows, let my spirit soar Leave depression in the dust, come a brand-new day (Outro) So, if you're wanderin' these valleys of despair Hold on tight and don't let darkness take control Turn pain into strength, let your voice be heard Tell the world you'll conquer depression, make you whole.
