    This one was also one was kinda spontaneous, but I still have simiular feelins at the time I wrote it. Feel free to comment, critique and/or post some of your own work you’d like to share.

    Reverse the Sun

    Is there any way my dark world could change for good
    I prided my own hard-heart in hardihood
    But many the times I missed when I
    Could have done better but I didn’t try.

    I can flip calendars of crimes I’ve committed.
    I can’t remember many times I’ve committed
    To make the Son smile down upon
    This ever-wandering prodigal son

    And I stand in the face of failures I can’t erase
    With my head hung down in disgrace
    My once soft heart I have defaced
    Is there any repair for the damage I have done

    I’d take a different turn if I could
    I’d turn the world around if it would
    But I can’t undo the deeds I’ve done
    Yet still I long to reverse the sun

    I am haunted by voices every single night
    All those voices I’d rather not revive for the fright
    In scenes they show, They scream so loud
    Decrying the times which I was so proud

    And I stand in the face of failures I can’t erase
    With my head hung down in disgrace
    My once soft heart I have defaced
    Is there any repair for the damage I have done

    I’d take a different turn if I could
    I’d turn the world around if it would
    But I can’t undo the deeds I’ve done
    Yet still I long to reverse the sun

    I’d take it back if I could turn back years
    I’d never thrown those arrows or spears
    But I can’t undo the deeds I’ve done
    So I just long to reverse the sun

    I heard You, the Savior, you can take
    Away all my shame if I call upon your name
    With all the odds stacked and my sanity at stake
    I’d rather fall to my knees and cry out God please
    Help amend for the deeds I’ve done

    I’d take a different turn if I could
    I’d turn the world around if it would
    But I can’t undo the deeds I’ve done
    Yet only You can reverse the sun

    I’d take it back if I could turn back years
    I’d never thrown those arrows or spears
    But I can’t undo the deeds I’ve done
    Yet only You can reverse the sun
