Laid waste by those who steal our hearts
we drown in turbulent undertows
Gasping for breath as it pulls us down
past a depth, only love knows
Kicking and fighting to surface again
we pray for a life giving breath
Struggling hard to ascend dark waters
we emerge, escaping death
Relieved and blessed with a second chance
drenched in the light above,
Our eyes open and faith renewed
To fill our hearts with love.
