With trembling hands and a shaky breath I slowly hold my pen
As I come face to face with life’s examination, now what exactly did I learn?
You see I remember watching and listening but I didn't actually hear
The questions of life I see before me now, make me feel and taste despair
What I require is a tiny drop of inspiration to answer this stern test
But all I can feel is a scary desperation eating its way deeper into my chest
My once steely resolve is now as weak as a leaf blowing in the wind.
And now, yes now, the voice of doubt rings loudly in my weary head
“You better not fail or you will find yourself in that dark place of sorrow, and dread”
So I say a quick prayer to banish these dark and scary thoughts
I turn to the one I rely on, my one true rock when things get tough, my God, he that is more than enough.
What I need is that divine illumination, what you might call a deep insight or revelation
The answer to my problems, my driving force, that elusive inspiration
I need inspiration the kind to spark the flame of imagination
I repeat, I need inspiration the type that would rouse an entire generation
I choose to step upon a path no one else has ever walked upon
I’m looking for light on this dark path, the direction that I now head down on
So with trembling hands and a shaky breath I hold my pen and face what life may send
You see I now see the way; here comes inspiration, with it hard-work and diligence to an inspired end.
