Suffering & Pain

from Black Mountain Bootleg by Reece Sullivan

/

about

Written September 2006, Twin Points Rd., in Hot Springs, AR to 2010 Baton Rouge.

lyrics

You were alone
And you were in debt
And you had struggled and fought it so long
Like nothing else

It wasn't your due
It felt like a curse
That you could not undo
That you could not reverse

You prayed aloud
And you prayed in verse
And you struggled to come to terms
With what it's all really worth

The sky you could touch
The sun you might greet
Or at least you had heard
And tried hard to believe

Come look and see
How we have been blessed
Don't fear being free

But how could you guess
What lied in your wait?
No one could express the ecstasy
That lay outside the gate

It was all just a test
Wove in your fate
'Twas all for the best
All your suffering & pain

My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
