Unfortunate souls will often say
|
We need to cling to yesterday
|
An evil there or light to see
|
Gives of hope of what might be
|
|
Faith gathered from once was
|
Hope gathered from once was
|
Peace gathered from once was
|
Love gathered from once was
|
|
I dream the past, the burning bridges
|
Old photographs, discarded pages
|
Unanswered prayers, the childhood endings
|
The bitter tears, the new beginnings
|
|
The life and times of a child alone
|
Searching for love in the cold unknown
|
Soul beat and scarred with the truth in sight
|
The lessons he's learned in the darkest night
|
|
I dream of youth and unrequited love
|
There lies the truth, in what once was
|
|
And through it all I see at last
|
The Saviour's hand and all that's past
|
|
Faith gathered from once was
|
Hope gathered from once was
|
Peace gathered from once was
|
Love gathered from once was
|
|
Memory is clear, Saviour drawing near
|
Feel my heart embraced, see desire's face
|
Here my soul will rest
|
|
I dream the past, the burning bridges
|
Old photographs, discarded pages
|
|
Faith gathered from once was
|
Hope gathered from once was
|
Peace gathered from once was
|
Love gathered from once was
|
|
The answered prayers, the childhood endings
|
The bitter tears, the new beginnings
|
The new beginnings
|
