Grief Has No Hold

I will not keep you behind an iron gate

But will unlock my soul to accept the beauty

Of the dawn and ascending road

Invisible as the path may be

I will feel my way through

With head held high and shoulders straight

For there is more light than shadow

Hope is more prevalent than fear

I will remember more songs than weeping

And the joy that comes after a long battle

I will not keep you behind an iron gate
But will unlock my soul to accept the beauty

Of the dawn and ascending road
Invisible as the path may be
I will feel my way through
With head held high and shoulders straight

For there is more light than shadow
Hope is more prevalent than fear
I will remember more songs than weeping
And the joy that comes after a long battle
