Compensation

This is the song I wrote, that I finally finished! Woot! I'm still relatively new to playing the guitar but I mangaged to scrounge up a decent tune to the song.
Here are the lyrics:

Compensation

verse 1:
Let's be honest with ourselves
We're stuck in an endless pit,
We try in vain to climb the sides.
We grapple, we fall
Stare into the sunlight above our heads.

chorus:
Reach up
Reach up and take my hand
I will
Yes I will pull you up
Reach down
Reach down and take his hand
He is
He's just as dead as you were.

verse 2:
Day after day we search in vain,
Trying to find our way
In a world of walking blind.
Only one hand holds the power
Holding us up so we can lift the lost.

chorus:
Reach up
Reach up and take my hand
I will
Yes I will pull you up
Reach down
Reach down and take her hand
She is
She's just as dead as you were.

bridge:
Impatiently waiting,
Unspoken, we're hating
If He's there then where is His hand?
He sees you, He knows you,
He wants you, He'll show you
The source of that light above your head.

chorus:
Reach up
Reach up and take my hand
I will
Yes I will pull you up
Reach down
Reach down and take their hands
They are
They're just as dead as you were
(repeat)

He sees you, He knows you,
He wants you, He'll show you
The source of that light above your head.
