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
