Wishing on a Star

I feel like there’s no hope
Like I’m at the end of my rope
I’m in a hole and can’t get out
I’m held down and can’t sprout
So I’m wishing on a star
God it seems like you’re so far
So I’m praying you meet me half way
I feel I’m just wasting my day
Tough times on the inside
It’s starting to leak out on the ride
Rusty sides and loose wheels
And the new paint is starting to peal
So I’m wishing on a star
And trying to keep par
Trying to hold up my end but it’s tough
The system is against me and not just
Two steps forward and three back
What’s up with that?
Lord order my steps
It is You who knows best
I’m praying to the starThat’s not so far
