To Live Again
Looking out from underneath
I think I feel the breeze,
The need to stretch
And live again
Is coming over me,
Slowly, slowly
And yet so surely
Life is peeking through,
My hope regaining
Sight again
As things
Are looking new,
It's going to take
Some time I know
To build myself again,
To find the joy
That I once had
That was stolen
Towards the end,
The loss was great
The hollow deep
But now at least I know
That all's not lost
This much I see
So on with life I go
