A ray of light is shining
Into this dark pit
Once bound, fettered, damned, sighing
I've lifted my eyes
But my heart- it's looking back
Remembers an ache
Like cancer deep in my bones
I let out a groan
I see them- my prison mates
With chains strangling
Blood thirsty, and locked tighter
Than mine ever were
Left alone, they are drowning
In their silent tears
In a well others drink from
And it's me they've shunned
I asked a bitter question
Used to ask God, why
Stunned by dawn, I question God
Yet now, I ask why-
A ray of light is shining
Into this dark pit
Once, bound, fettered, damned, sighing
Only to touch me
