Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars
BODY AILS YET SPIRIT SOARS
I know where I am due to be going
Despite my sins for which I’ve paid
I have ailments that cause me pain
But at least I’m still considered sane
Even with the penances I’ve made
The river that takes me, is flowing
I am merely human with many flaws
But salvation has not been denied
The recent changes have been tough
Survival with dignity will be enough
There’s a future when one has died
I know my body ails yet spirit soars
