Reflections

From the shadows of our soul--the past reflects within
Sometimes the fear still grows the reflections of our sins
In the rivers of our past our memories fade away
But the faith within it lasts--until our dying day

There's a lesson to our misgivings --we are not alone
Our lives that we've been living are just a stepping stone
Time is the essence --the faith that lies within
Reflections of our memories--the places we have been

There's a language we all know through the words that we all say
The truth it lies within our soul, only God's love can show the way
Our hearts are our only friends through the language of our soul
Echoes fade into the darkness as the night it grows so old

There is no turning back as our memories remain
The voices in the shadows fall like faces in the rain
But in our hearts we must be strong and live from day to day
Be willing to admit when we are wrong and go our separate ways
