We've all been to a place in our lives where we have thought about giving up. Yet there is always a glimmer of hope that some day things will get better.

Deep Down Blues

I don?t know how I ever got down so low
I wonder when I?ll rise above
I?m floatin? belly-up in a sea of stone
My soul cries out for love

I don?t know how I ever got down so low
I feel like jumpin? in the river and
drownin? my woe

But even in the depths of despair
I?m clinging to hope
Though it?s a slippery slope

I got the deep down blues
Deep down blues
Deep down blues
Deep down blues

There?s disappointment all around me
Inside depression?s running wild
Loneliness and fear surround me
Deep down I?m like a long lost child

I don?t know how I ever got down so low
I feel like jumpin? in the river and
drownin? my woe

But even in the depths of despair
I?m clinging to hope
Though it?s a slippery slope

I got the deep down blues
Deep down blues
Deep down blues
Deep down blues

How can I put an end to this madness
How can I stop all the sadness I feel

I?m tired of crawlin? on my knees
Will somebody help me
Will somebody please
Help me to help myself

I don?t know how I ever got down so low
I wonder when I?ll rise above
I?m floatin? belly-up in a sea of stone
My soul cries out for love

I don?t know how I ever got down so low
I feel like jumpin? in the river and
drownin? my woe

But even in the depths of despair
I?m clinging to hope
Though it?s a slippery slope

I got the deep down blues
Deep down blues
Deep down blues
Deep down blues
