Steps of Redemption
I got busy living, tasting what was once a dream
Filling in the blanks that left holes in my seam
Visiting the courage given for this day
God already knew I had to come this way
All the things that kept me out of sight and mind
Were just the illusions of a satanic design
Disguised as ugly thoughts, monsters in the dark
Robbing me of everything even my joyous spark
I am forged with love, mercy and the living word
To be my sheild in combat against all i heard
Mighty weapons formed to keep safe the elect
Stand on bloody battlegrounds unable to connect
Lost in the reflections of right and wrong
Some to bring about complacency's abstract song
With little battles brewing into full scale wars
And what should be aboutlove becoming mindless chores
The ache being greater than the stench of fear
Even if but for that moment I was here
I must claim the joyousness of that.
