Ode to The Light by Balian
Merit for April 2009
Wandering these lonely roads
I've come from far away
I didn't know where to go
Until I saw you
My Eyes! My Eyes!
Were filled with such a sight
When I looked up at you
When I looked upon The Light
Coming up a little closer
Was feeling insecure
Wasn't sure if I should go in
Until I heard you
My Ears! My Ears!
Were filled with a wonderful sound
Bells ringing in my head
The Light, 'twas you I found
Took a step inside you
And became completely new
Knew that I'd done the right thing
When I felt you
My Heart! My Heart!
Leaped up inside my chest
Sensed your warmth surround me
Sensed that I'd been blessed
And now that I'm here, I can never go back
Now that I'm here, there is nothing I can lack
Because you're in my life
Because you are my life
My Soul! My Soul!
Will never be the same
I have found the perfect gift
The Light, I will proclaim
The Light! The Light!
You've drawn me here to you
Without you, I'd be lost
Looking for refuge
