When darkness consumed my heart and my soul,
And I could see no light or escaping,
The sound and rythem and beat could control
My world from shattering and then breaking
Sweet melody and meter hold my heart
When I feel my heart and self are dying
God's delight saved me from falling apart
Music told me to never stop trying
Whether melody soft, or lyric rhyme
The tune of song could clear my worst heartache
The notes and rests in perfect three-four time,
Evil would leave it and horror would shake
This is my thanks to the music of life,
It is the force that breaks free of my strife
