A Soul Awakened

For every winter there's a spring And autumn follows summer on the wing For every raindrop, there's a ray of light And darkness is always conquered by light For every smile there's a frown As even roses have their thorns And when one thing dies, another is born The circle of life goes round and round For each hello there is a goodbye And every summer has its butterflies Laughter reverberates to drown out sorrow But tears of sadness may come tomorrow Every soul that dies will awaken Though they rest they are not forsaken One day when that great trumpet sounds Every soul will have an awakening
