How far is repentance
When damnation surrounds?
How far is forgiveness
When darkness confounds?

How far is love
When lust consumes?
How distant the stars
When stuck in our tombs?

How lovely the spirit
When trapped in the thorns?
How happy the face
When the heart mourns?

When stained with blood
Can lips be sweet?
When clouded with hate
Can eyes meet?

Can hope still live
When choked by fears?
Can smiles mend
When soaked in tears?

How strong the body
When the soul is weak?
How heavy the words
When we can barely speak?
