I long for the joy
That once flowed so free
When I was who
I was meant to be.
The days of light,
So bright, so bright.
The days of music
And song and delight.
They’re coming again
Whispers the voice in my soul.
Soon, soon, soon
I hear in the night;
As I cry out to a God
So far out of sight,
Release me. Release me.
I’m tired of the fight.
Bring me peace and joy
And give me respite.
How did I get here,
So far from the light,
So far from the source
Of my soul’s delight.
My soul’s delight.
