A Prayer for Life

I met a man called pain and strife,
While walking down the road of life.
He turned me down a darken path,
To meet his friends at the dead-end.

They told me just to take a drink,
You'll loosen up, won't have to think.
You'll meet new friends and have a ball.
Instead I went into a fall.

Spinning down into this well,
It made my life a living hell.
I hurt my friends, my family too.
I did not care who I ran through.

Then when I thought there was no more.
God opened up a little door.
He grabbed my hand, I held on tight.
He pulled me safe into the light.

So if you fall into that well,
And your life's a living hell.
Pray out to God, Pray for the light.
That saved me from the well that night.
