Surrounded

by Brett Barton

Surrounded by all of those things that I thought I wanted

I found myself lost in that bad place forever being haunted

As I sat there that day trying to find my lost soul

I realized the problem, my heart had a huge gaping hole


Surrounded by things that were not good for me

I found myself wondering if this was supposed to be

As I sat there that day remembering about the past

I didn't understand why I was the one to last


Surrounded by evil in that truly unfamiliar place

I found myself alone protecting only MY space

As I sat there that day in that place so very dark

I was hoping and praying for one little spark


Surrounded finally by many good friends

I find myself not wanting any of it to end

As I sit here today grateful life has become so serene

Nevermore looking for a hidden meaning in between


Surrounded by laughter as the children play

I find myself now enjoying every single day

As I sit here today thinking of all the things

All of the wonderful things that life seems to bring


Surrounded by Angels engulfed in awesome light

I find myself feeling like the world is just right

As I sit here today thanking God for his good grace

For the first time everything is falling into its place
