I fell into a hole one day.
It swallowed me up and took me away.
I clawed and I scraped; I tried to break free,
But the hole wouldn't loosen its tight grip on me.

I found my dreams in a hole one day,
The hopes I once thought that I'd thrown away.
They darted and weaved; they chased me around.
My unfounded joys came tumbling down.

I lost track of myself in a hole one day.
Failure's dim shadow had led me astray.
I looked high and low, but my past life was gone.
The hole was my chance to move up and move on.

I'm climbing out of a hole today.
I'm leaving a world drawn in shades of gray.
I'll trip and I'll fall on the slippery slope
Of the hole that took me and forgot to bring hope.

But I'll still get out of this hole today.
Its darkness and lies will no longer hold sway.
I'll fight and I'll struggle; I'll regain control.
And pull myself out of this cavernous hole.
