(Jimmy P. Brown II/Terry Taylor) Unfortunate souls will often say We need to cling to yesterday An evil there or light to see Gives us hope of what might be Faith gathered from once was Hope gathered from once was Peace gathered from once was Love gathered from once was I dream the past, the burning bridges Old photographs, discarded pages Unanswered prayers, the childhood endings The bitter tears, the new beginnings The life and times of a child alone Searching for love in the cold unknown Soul beat and scarred with the truth in sight The lessons he's learned in darkest night I dream of youth and unrequited love There lies the truth, in what once was And through it all I see at last The Saviour's hand and all that's past Memory is clear, Saviour drawing near Feel my heart embraced, see desire's face Here my soul will rest The answered prayers, the childhood endings The bitter tears, the new beginnings The new beginnings?
