He struggles to reach
the end of the tunnel,
SILENCE --
He loses his way,
He calls to Him for help
that he might find peace,
SILENCE --
He remains unanswered.
He cries and shouts
he curses...
He wishes to die,
for amid the chaos and fright
he feels alone.
SILENCE --
He forces to forget.
He blocks the light
that shines through a gap,
It blinds him,
he falls...
SILENCE --
he forgets.
He finds his dying state,
it frightens him,
He reaches out...
SILENCE --
the light has gone too far.
He thinks of calling out,
once more...
He fights it.
And then the world turns dark,
he cries...
"Leave me not
for I might die!"
Just when he thinks he's been forsaken...
He reaches out
and grasps a hand.
SILENCE --
Light flashes through,
It fills his world...
He realizes that...
In the silence,
He never listened.
