Ascension

alone in the darkness i wait (ralph)
for the smile that brightens my day (mari)
and a tear for my dry soul (ralph)
that will quicken the pace in my heart (mari)
and slow the hands of time (ralph)
that burdens a timeless pain (mari)
which comforts the lonely death (ralph)
that i've accustomed myself to (mari)
but never accepted (ralph)
i find it hard to muster the strength to walk alone (mari)
truchsia points the way (ralph)
and i find hope for another day (mari)
when the light shines over the hill (ralph)
and warms my weary eyes (mari)
