WOUNDED SIGH

This or that, Vol. 24 
April 8, 2024 

Wounded sigh, looking up high 
Like time has come for him to die 
The precious blood must flow 
For, the light of this world to glow 

The stains of sin must be washed away 
For, the world to see the light of day 
Wounded and tired he may be 
But he must toil for the world to see 

That his love knows no fear 
And the world for him is dear 
That he is willing to give his life 
To rid the world of hate and strife 

That he is willing to pay our dues 
Although, many of us have no clues 
That he is willing to give his breath 
To save our souls from certain death
