Hopes of Deliverance
(2001) When the mind begins to stretch outwards, like an ever-flowing stream; Expanding out in the quest of a long-suppressed dream. When logic loses its sting and reality binds no more; When emotions lash the mind like waves on the sea-shore. When beauty comes back to the soul and baseness does not bind; When hatred loses its jarring din and love rules in the mind. When hope comes back to free our minds from the shackles of despair; When bindings seem to be no more and freedom is in the air. When all we have is the real us, and our hearts do not attempt; To conceal the beauty within them from the cruel world's contempt. When God comes down and lives in us, when truth once again reigns; Then hopes of deliverance come to the world easing its despair and pains.
