And here I sit outside
with my back against a wall
Pain makes it so hard
to move and to breathe
Yet the sun shines on my face
and I soak the light in
My love, did you send the sun to me
did you ask it to find me
straight through the dark
and heavy clouds
Was it the answer to the prayer
you said
or was it mine that asked for you?
The light has found me
and touches, kisses my face
But it also makes the darkness
of the pain
so visible, so palpable
But continue to pray, my love
I continue to pray
even though it now hurts so much
It is the light that will heal
