The Light That Leads Me There
I have slept in cold and lonely places With no comfort but the ground I've walked for years seeking gentle faces Just a smile, a friendly sound
But I've felt the bruise of fist and stone Where cold laughter rang out high And I've stumbled on, wounded to the bone Holding tears back from my eye Still I shall find my way And I will know my people They'll embrace me with deep care You see my aching search for loving kindness Is the light that leads me there
I'm told my face is an ugly sight That I'm quite the fearsome fool Little children turn and run in fright Their parents just are cruel Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
But I'll tell you now, that inside me here Is a soul so sweet and soft If for one brief second you came that near You never would run off
I've seen many things on this brutal earth, The horrific and the sweet From the way that violence tumbles forth To the flowers at my feet
And I've pondered as I've wandered On the mystery of man Why does such a privileged creature squander All the gifts that he commands?
(Based on The Ugly Duckling – Hans Christian Andersen)
