For Cristy

You can heal this lonely heart
He can't help if all he knows is pain
The strong can fly on winds of hope
A light can shine with love, not shadow

I know this soul can mend
The hands upraised in prayer and song
To open your eyes and see within
Is to know your pain and want the end

It takes more strength to cry
To know you're wrong
But take this hand
It's solid flesh to touch and hold
I taste your tears and kiss your cheek

The blood running through my fingers
I feel the wound and see within
It can't be forgetten or given away
The knife won't help
It only reminds and comes again
