Rugged Old Soul of Mine

Another day, another dollar

Another day to go through the pains.

I feel myself grow weaker.

like a rafflesia in a desert.

How can I stay strong,

With this rugged old soul of mine?

 

Work, school, home

there's a battle go'n on.

Wrinkled, worried and worn

How can I stay strong

With this rugged old soul of mine

 

I am as unique as an exotic flower

blooming in tropical gardens.

Yet, old at the age of 18,

I know I'm not the only one.

 

Withered by the things

which weigh heavy

on the heart and soul.

But it is time to let go

of this rugged old soul of mine.

 

Let Jesus take the wheel,

to help me feel, compassion,

joy and love.

Lord Save me, Lord Save me,

Lord save my rugged old soul. Amen
