A Fair Hand That I Needed

I did it, did it, Did it again Thought that was the last pain, But this added to the bit Not realised initially, The wrong that I did But on finding what was hid, It ate me inside brutally Drop by drop the tears of my sorrow Rolled down my cheek It was cold and bleak leaving me with no shoulder to borrow I drowned deeper and deeper In the sorrowful sea with a heavy bit Seeking for a hand to lift, Waiting for a merciful forgiver Suddenly a Fair Hand pulled me up, Threw the heavy bit off me Telling me to forget the old me, The wrong deed and swim up I was going higher and higher Hoping for the light Where dead end was bright, As bright as the fair, warm fire.
