I am happy now, I am here
I needed a rest, a break away
But I am here now and I promise not to stray

I scooped her up, she was barely there
A shadow of me that was withered, laid bare
It is only now when I look within
I see the extent of the state we were in

To flee my own self, how did I ever try
Neglect too harsh and true to deny
And yet still now I neglect to know
How I left and the nowhere I go
Without you - My poor and lonely soul

I promise
There is no need to worry
My Holy Ghost
I have you here - and I'll hold you close
We are happy, and here, and now.
