I begged for alms - yet never knew my plight

prayed heavenward to gods I could not see

succumbed to sin and lost the will to fight

expecting que sera would always be

Confessions so effusive and contrite

were not enough to pay my entrance fee

my eyes were banned from witnessing the light

too precious for a leper such as me

But then a star lit up my shadowed height

an angel chorus sang the sacred key

I cried into the sky "I wish I might"

and fell into your arms so gratefully

My darkness now replaced by days of white

empowered by love's electricity
