They come alone, some young, some grown
With devastated minds
They search their souls for the fortitude and strength
To leave the past behind.
By God’s true grace, they try and face
The faults that lie within
Binded in this brotherhood
They cast away their sin.
In search of hope, tossing cords of rope
Unto their fellow man.
And with the aid of faith and love
Together, they forget a plan.
In the light of the sun, one by one
They remember their joy and loves
And as brothers and sisters once more
They face the world, their hearts gentle as doves
Matron and maid, by God’s grace are saved
Finding their places in the light.
To sing once again by the sides of their men
In a future oh so bright.
On their faith they rely as they learn to live not die
And escape the scourge of the past
As the days go slowly by, they find the strength and reasons why
To smite their demons at last.
