I had it once - that light divine So bright and pure, my soul did shine With each day that passed, the light grew dimmer Twenty-one years later there's barely a glimmer
A good person - I am, though that's not what I seek Perfection's my goal, but havoc it wreaks Because it is something I'll never attain I'm always let down again and again Consumed by guilt from mistakes of the past I wonder how long this torment will last Feeling unworthy of anyone's love From family and friends, to my Father above Squelching my spirit, engulfing my thoughts Making me tired of this battle long fought
The answer is simple - staring me in the face The way to find joy in this mortal place Forgiving myself of all that I did Accepting my faults that for years I hid Just trying my best to do what is right And then someday regaining that heavenly light
