I lost track of the winters gone by.
Your lively voice now faint in my mind,
replaced by the sorrow of silent cries.
My desperate hands reach for you,
but deeper in darkness you fall into.
Tempted by the world, unable to come through,
cravings stronger than love for life,
overpower your will to fight.
I know within is a spark of light,
casting rays to guide you home,
but beyond the shadows you hopelessly roam.
Through all this, you’re not alone.
My arms are open, full of love and peace,
waiting for you to come back to me.
All this time, I still believe.
Break free of all that’s holding you back,
follow the light through the cracks,
try to escape the cold depths of black.
Look at the sky when the clouds disperse,
feel God’s love and know your worth,
let Him in to heal the hurt.
I beg, I plead, I pray to God,
that someday you will beat the odds,
forever found in freedom, no longer lost.
