Testimonials
WE MUST FIRST RECOGNIZE THE PRISON OF THE MIND... BEFORE WE CAN ESCAPE IT.
Lonely Cage
I sit inside this lonely cage.
My hands are clenched in fists of rage,
As each day passes, I feel I've aged.
Alone! Oh, so alone!
It's not one of stone and bar.
It's much worse than that, by far!
It's got to be the most horrible kind!
'Cause I'm a prisoner in my own mind!
I search, I run, I try to hide.
I just can't get away from this feeling inside.
As each day passes, I feel I've died.
Alone! Oh, so alone!
But now I have time for nothing else.
With God's help,
I will come to terms with myself!
