A light so dim inside my heart
beats softly, slowly; where’s the start?
A cry to God to call my name
A day so sad, yet always the same
My mind it aches with thoughts and fear
Why oh why must I be here?
The wedding bell was stilled that day
I left at once, though asked to stay
A vision of hope streams bit by bit
A breath for life that’s barely lit
Why oh why must the day’s go on?
When all I want is a silent song
