Spirit rising

I feel a song bursting through my heart

As the sun streams in through open windows

And the wind blows all the cobwebs clear

There is just this feeling of life

Surging through my veins

After years of living in deadness

And the gentle refrain

Of your melody

Carries me home again

To the soul in me

That always longed to be free

 

All those springs ago

It seems I fell so far down

Or was captured by the black hand of fate

And it was years I spent in the wilderness

As the shadows all around me grew

And I became a stranger to myself

But now as I remember how it felt

To be so dead

Part of me is grateful for the pain

For without it I honestly do not know

If I would be the person I am today

Someone who went into the fire

And had the courage to stay

Until the flames burned clean

Trusting that in time

My spirit would rise again

Reborn from the pain
