Fallen waist deep Lost within the clutches of grief With seemingly no way of me finding an answer, And no way of me holding my Peace So as a means of release? I'm now speaking my Peace Releasing for this reason having the means of picking up the Spiritual Pieces And putting it all back together using it for what it's worth Visualizing the Holy theme giving birth to revive my hopes and Dreams But these dreams are not seen through the eyes of surprise But only seen through the joyfulness of watching our spirits Rise Riiising out of the ashes where the fearfulness is cruel and savage, Out of the madness where the hopelessness is the rule of sadness Escaping the Pain No longer bond under heavy Locks and Chains No more wounds to be healed No wounds to seal No bandages with
