Sitting In The dark

Sitting In The Dark

Her I am

Sitting in the dark

Thinking about a couple of seconds

Thirty years ago

It's only seconds

What a couple of seconds it is

The lowest of lows

If I only could know

They say i'm forgiven

They say I paid the price

If that is the case

Why doesn't it feel right

I found the light

I switched it on

I went under the water

I sang a new song

I helped a man

I helped a woman

I raised my boys

I showed them a line

Then why do I

Still feel out of sort

A couple of seconds

I can't even the score

Why do you haunt me

Life falls on me

So here I am

Sitting in the dark

This is about my father.  He made a terrible mistake once that haunted him the rest of his life.  I see all the negativity and judgment in today's world.  It makes me think of him.  How the courts made him pay a price and Jesus forgave him, but he never could forgive himself.
