this highway's dark and empty

just miles and miles of endless road

I've got a sickness pounding in my head

I'm at the mercy of the ghosts

but what it would take to live

as if I would not another day

to live without despair

and to be without desdain

how can I instill such hope

but be left with none of my own?

what if I could sing

just one song

and it might save somebody's life

I sought after reasons to stay

I was lost

I was lost

then the sky turned black

and the rains poured down

I was waiting

waiting to be found

oh, no

how can I instill such hope

but be left with none of my own?

what if I could sing

just one song

and it might save somebody's life

when I would sing

all that I can sing

because that is when

when I feel that I'm not just counting time

oh, and I sing

all that I can sing

maybe just for the moment

things would seem all right

oh, and I sing

What would it take to live, just another day. I was lost...I was lost. Mental illness is not a joking matter, major depressive disorder, general anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, bi polar, or whatever. There are people in this world that can help you, there are people that can sing and save your live. Don't give up, don't lose hope, don't lose faith. Keep your head up and remember that you can control your own destiny. It's as easy as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Happiness is not free or guaranteed we need to pursue it. And the moment you forget that we become lost again. Do not be discourage and be in good faith. Everything is possible through Jesus Christ--have faith and move mountains!

this song legitimately gave me hope to someday live. I have struggled with depression and PTSD most of my life and have been an addict and was contemplating suicide for a long time. Then I heard this song, and I started bawling. It just gave me the little bit of will and hope to seek out help, to get better, the very reason I am still alive. This song saved me in my time of need and I feel I have to give back some how. Dallas Green if somehow you read this I want to thank you because in saving me I can now save many others.

Esta carretera está oscura y vacía.Sólo kilómetros y kilómetros de camino sin fin.Tengo una enfermedad golpeandome en mi cabeza.Estoy a merced de los fantasmas.¿Qué se necesita para vivir como si no hubiera otro día?Para vivir sin desesperación, y sin desprecio.¿Cómo podria inculcar esa esperanza, sin que se quede con nada de mí ?¿Qué pasaria si cuando canto una sola canción se salvará la vida de alguien mas?Busqué, luego razones para quedarme.Estaba perdido, estaba perdido.Entonces el cielo se volvió negro,Y las lluvias calleron a cántaros.Estaba esperando, esperando ser encontrado. oh, no.¿Cómo podria inculcar esa esperanza, sin que se quede con nada de mí ?¿Qué pasaria si cuando canto una sola canción se salvará la vida de alguien mas?Entonces podría cantar, todo lo que pueda cantarPor eso es que cuando, cuando siento que no estoy solo contando el tiempo.Oh cuando canto, todo lo que pueda cantarQuizas por un sólo momento se podrían ver todas las cosas bien.Oh cuando canto, oh cuando cantoOh cuando canto, oh cuando canto
