“Redemption is the pathway that is trailed by perpetual light.
-Thompson Emate
Freedom from the night
Walking towards the light
Darkness seeks for the escaped souls
It’s like running on hot coals.
The light beckons on us
We’re led to embark on the redemption bus
As we sojourn to embark
We’re assailed by creatures cloaked in the dark.
Journeying across the turbulent sea
We begin to see
Hope holds our hands along the way
Redemption is the piercing ray.
I’ll sing songs of freedom
Until I arrive at the celestial kingdom
Monsters will no longer stare at my window
I’ll see an ever-blooming meadow.
