Forgotten waters...dredged so deep 
the mournful cry...a soul that weeps 
compassion's heart...unsure of try 
been fooled before..that is why 
 
A shadow of darkness..surrounds this gate 
shall I trust faith......Sealing my fate 
the choice of choice.....dare walk a mile 
I'm unsure I could bring you a smile 
 
My heart open book.....cut once too many 
compassionate heart..wanting to send thee 
the joy of hope..........to set thee free 
this spirit broken.....just should not be.....
