Put Your Mind Away

Woke up this morning my first try;
Only yesterday things felt hard.
Now won't you tell me all of the things,
As strange as they may be;
That put your mind so far away.

Sounds filter in and out,
But my focus remains so strong.
So off with you, those with words of doubt, 
That speak so many wrongs.

Now won't you tell me all of the things,
As strange as they may be;
I'll listen and I'll believe.
Stay as long as I can; help is on the way.
All you have to do is take my hand and put your mind away.

Safe here in my security,
From the demons of the land.
They scratch so desperately at my door;
Their nails never wearing thin.
But they won't be here for long, leaving once you begin.

Now won't you tell me all of the things,
As strange as they may be;
I'll listen and I'll believe;
Stay as long as you can; hope is underway.
All you have to do is understand and put your mind away.
