WHERE THE LIGHT CAME IN

I was despondent in the house,

In the house where the light was dim.

Phantoms crept within the house,

Where sunlight had not been.

 

Woeful tunes played in the house,

In the house where the light was dim.

Shadows loomed and time was lost,

Where sunlight had not been.

 

Window shutters bolted firm,

In the house where the light was dim.

Oft times I felt no hope at all,

Where sunlight had not been.

 

Now I’m exultant in the house,

In the house where the light came in.

Spectres crept out stealthily,

Where sunlight ventured in.

 

Unbolted shutters opened wide

And golden sun flowed in.

Jubilant laughter banished tears,

In the house where the light came in.
