I am determined to move on
Where faith is concerned
I am lost but still pray from afar
I remain indebted
To a master
I have regretted
Knelt besides beauty
Forged my way through hateful vengeance
I find myself
Where I began
In complete silence

As turmoil spins its convoluted script
A picture of clarity flashes across the screen of my mind
A peaceful image of smiles, happiness, laughter in a long ago time
Nothing was taken
I have shelved away the pieces
Hidden the secrets
Covered the bedspread
With lies
Deceitfulness
My pride
Buried with the rest of what was once good god and glory

Here in the heavens
Among the clouds and angels
The beauty returns
Truth and honor are superfluous
A stinging voice
One that can not be heard
Rather felt in the bones
Shakes me to my core
Brings me reprieve

Released from my shackles
Brought to my knees
Forgiveness is granted
And so it is received

When it comes to forgiveness
I am determined to move on
Where faith is concerned
I am lost but still pray from afar
I remain indebted
To a master
I have regretted
Knelt besides beauty
Forged my way through hateful vengeance

Where I began
In complete silence

As turmoil spins its convoluted script
A picture of clarity flashes across the screen of my mind
A peaceful image of smiles, happiness, laughter in a long ago time
Nothing was taken
I have shelved away the pieces
Hidden the secrets
Covered the bedspread

My pride
Buried with the rest of what was once good god and glory

Here in the heavens
Among the clouds and angels

Truth and honor are superfluous
A stinging voice
One that can not be heard
Rather felt in the bones
Shakes me to my core
Brings me reprieve

Released from my shackles
Brought to my knees
Forgiveness is granted
And so it is received
