Sitting around this life for years
Not enough laughs and too many tears
Empty, wondering where it all went
These wasted years that I have spent
Pushing and pulling, it's tearing apart
Poking and prodding an underused heart
This dark velvet curtain that hides my soul
Living this life has taken its toll
In a flash of bright light, the curtain is torn
Tumbling down all tattered and worn
Revealing new life, a child within
Born free of hate, of suffering and sin
Now my eyes see what has never been told
Striving forth happy, willing and bold
Into a world of undiscovered slavery
Into this new life my spirit will send me
Ready for connection, I know my place
Finding comfort and freedom in this space
Learning and growing as He shapes my role
Following, stripped bare, bearing my soul
