Never again to be

Innocence lost which never was
guilt heaped as it leads to death
clean never again to be
Never again to be

The given gift then was taken
the whole of self then was broken
the dimming hope would never leave
Yet never again to be

A light appeared as the curtain drawn
the light now strong, the darkness gone
Never again to be

A sound, a choir, the bells, this sound
noise growing, no flowing into Heaven song
the silence, no silence
Never again to be

A man renewed, myself renewed
imbued with living spirit, infused
a man renewed, life abounds, Death Has Died
never again to be
