This Blues

This blues
lives inside me every day
this blues
seems I can’t make it go away
this blues broke into my dreams
and it brags about being here to stay.

This blues keeps me angry
I feel explosions in my head
this blues brought me sorrow
and I’m terrified with dread
this blues cut into my heart
it laughed, and left me here for dead.

Outside my window the sky is clear and bright
it’s a beautiful day
outside my window, another cool September night
nothing has changed
the trees are starting to get a little glow
and pretty girls still come and go.

This blues
wants to keep me on my knees
this Blues
commanded me not to speak
I’m gonna stand up proud and true
I’m gonna lift my voice in praise of peace.
