One Day

One day the music won't play

to drown out the cursing,

the mind won't runaway

to where the feet can't be,

or the lips wrench smiles

from pain the heart is nursing.

One the day the turmoil will simply...

fade away from me.


One day a song will lull me,

soft and low,

like a dream calling from long ago.

The feet will walk gently

to the doorsteps of peace

and the lips will smile

at the heart's release.


Till that day, I will carry my burden well

till God comes along

to take me out of Hell.
