another hour in another day

i speak in all directions what i think they want to hear me say

another day becomes a lost and lonely night

and i don't understand why nothing feels right

then a voice comes echoing in - into the dark and then

the voice echoes in my head

and these are the words it said -

CHORUS

why don't you put down your guard

why must it be so hard

to have a little faith in me, have a little faith in me

another black night becomes another grey dawn

i'm waking with the feeling i've already done something wrong

trials and errors 'til i make it home again

and i'm feeling my resistance wearing paper thin

(then a voice)

i hear the words - i get out of bed

i can't sleep with all this noise in my head

i find my feet leading me down the hall

where i stop - look in the mirror - hanging on the wall

then i recognize the voice i'm giving myself a choice

more trust - a little less doubt

is all i've been talking about - talking to myself about

why don't i put down my guard

why must i make it so hard

to have a little faith in me?
