The darkness was there within me
Suffocating my soul,
The stress of my life pulling me down.
Illness struck ,
Taking me further into the depths of despair.
The illness gradually passed
Leaving me so weak
That my strength seemed lost.
Then it happened,
I sang,
I sang with the Choir.
As each note left my body
It took the darkness with it.
My mind was clear once more
And my life was back into the light,
The light that music always brings.
My soul was breathing again
As music once more pulled me,
Pulled me up from the depths,
The depths of my suffering.
The light was there within me,
Showing the way forward once more.
