I once felt warmth, I once was loved,
I once smiled as I looked above ,
to see the sky, a wonderous sight,
and way up high, a mighty light

I once felt the grass brush along my feet,
I once could see where the sky and ground meet
I once could feel the wind blow through my hair,
and see the blue birds play in the air

Then a storm headed my way,
dark clouds covered the sun's ray
The warming faces I could not see,
and all that I felt was misery

There I was stumbling around,
love and joy could not be found
surrounded by a vast pool of darkness,
lonley and startled, I could not rest

When I spotted a most magnificent sight,
a small but bright speck of light,
and so I gleamed at the thought,
of what the near future brought.
