Salvation

The light has come for me

My lungs fill with Your breath

I dream in colour again

How can this be?

My Turkish prison crumbles

 

I do not recognize the sun

But it remembers me

I follow Your voice

the binding chains turn to dust

The light has finally come

 

You take my hand so hard

Your smile dries my tears

My sadness breaks like water on Your rocks

You wash it all away

I am bathed in light

 

I see Your face

Just as I dreamt it would be

I smell salvation on Your skin

I taste hope on Your lips

I am home, and free at last
