No longer held down
No longer kept confined
By the old dreams long gone by
The old ways never tried
Walk with me
And hold my hand
Until the end
Blessed be the meek
Blessed be the ones who seek
Solace wherever they may find it
Lord knows we all keep trying
Words and images provide
The smallest comforts sometimes
Lift the spirit and stem the wound
Once more on repeat
We believe in life and death
Balance and reflection
Endings we try to comprehend
And fight against
Break these chains
And lift me up
For the clouds have gathered
And the jurors have filled their cups
