As I lay here in my bed,
thought after thought tumbles into my head.
Sweet notions fill my hungry mind,
as I realise peace I can find.

Aware that no other can grant it to me,
for I'm the only one who can set myself free.
I don't need to be rescued,
for I know that I simply misconstrued.

The concept of finding my way,
but in my heart I know I'm going to be okay.
I'm going to stop turning to others for a clue,
as deep inside I think I've always knew.

That I held every answer my heart sought,
but believing I'd be wrong my own words I fought.
In an attempt to hold them down,
so sure that my heart they'd drown.

Still I see for the first time tonight,
that what I think is not always right.
Yet my faith I manage to maintain,
refusing to allow it from me to drain.

In my hands I now clasp,
peace of mind that'll not slip from my grasp.
It seems what I thought I'd lost has always been around,
as at last I see that MY FAITH IS FOUND!!!
