God Save Us All

Great. I can see now why we reason with God:
Submission isn’t too high on our list of things to do
No, we are high on pleasures that cannot sustain
We let them last us tonight and we are down another day

But oh, how I want contentment lasting
Joy that’s wide and deep and unstoppable

God save us all
We can’t get by just on help
Our depression is just so deep
But despair will see us lift our heads, singing
God save us all

Why do we romanticize despair in our hearts?
Because we cannot give up, just like a kid who wants his way
I could blame my culture, it’s always been so shallow
Oh, teach me how to go

But oh, how I want contentment lasting
Joy that’s wide and deep and unstoppable
Oh, and I know my eyesight’s failing
When the darkness looks like light and the light looks dark
