open the eyes of my heart ♥ lord

when I found myself stuck
when there is no support for myself
when life starts walking without any goal

and my mind gets as hot as volcanic lava
when I couldn't find any brightness 🔆
when I feel like a loser
Lord hold my hand, show me the right path
let me walk on your way lord
open the eyes of my heart Lord.....
