Flicker

Have I become
A target that some people can't resist
My flaws have become a greater risk
If my name
Is a synonym for love and happiness
Then why am I bombarded with distress
My old friends
Haven't seen them since I don't know when
But I can send them a signed 8 by 10
My sweetheart
She understands why I'm away
But still it gets harder everyday
But it's my delight
To sing all night
Til the sun comes up
Again and again
After all my cross isn't hard to bear
It's heavy I am weak but you are there
There are times when I'm down and feeling done
You pursue me like I am your only son
My old flaws you've overlooked and put to rest
We're farther than the east is from the west
But it's my delight
To sing all night
Til the sun comes up
Again and again
Yes it's my delight
To share a flicker of your light
Just a ray of hope
To a friend
Amen
I've spent about 24 hours in a Flying J truck stop
I haven't had a shower and I'm about to drop
It really doesn't matter if we make it or not
Cause it's my delight
To sing all night
Til the sun comes up
Again and again and again and again
Yes it's my delight
To share a flicker of your light
Just a ray of hope
To a friend
The end
