Lost Angeles
I was a soldier fallen from grace
Angels surround me saving my face
Lonely and scattered struggling to find
A place I could trust to share my mind.
I found the soup
Then it found me
We began a journey
That set my heart free
A comment here, a contest winner
I could spill my words without feeling a sinner
A second home that took me away
From any dirt that came my way.
I found the soup
Then it found me
We began a love
That set my heart free
As time rolled on
I judged others writing
Loving the way
I could feel people fighting
To earn first place in the contests I ran
Made me feel useful
Body starting to mend
The chemistry was right
When I wrote through the night
The soup saved me soul
As a soldier I fight
I was a soldier falling from grace
Then I met soup and I'm back in the race.
