I hold the lamp
that yesterday seemed so far away
I yearned to touch it
I reached through a haze
still nothing
but the warmth of a light
that beckoned me
a long, cold, damp, narrow road I sought
and farther away it seemed to sit
a chill shook me
my spirit lay shattered
only the keeper of the light can re-assemble me
He was with me always
I shut my eyes
I closed my ears
I built up a wall around my heart
When I tore it down tonight I sought no more
The l;amp came to me
I hold the light
The light holds me
I have a sword for truth
I have passion for the future
I have hope for this moment
