Somewhere in this lonely abyss

Wanders a lonely soul.

Abandoned by grace,

Your tears are baptized by the blood of lies.

Find the outcasts, the outcasts who welcome every sinner,

Every saint, and every forgotten.

I've found my salvation, in this deep dark abyss,

No longer will I hide behind the face of Fear,

I relish my Fear as it fuels the Courage to be

Who I truly am!

Find me, look for me,

And I'll be with you in every way.

I'll cherish your idiosyncrasies,

I'll try to correct your wrongs,

But one thing I'll never do is

Judge what you cannot change.

I'm sure you've found this abyss

A place to call home,

Like so many others.

When you find your light,

Make it shine so bright

You can become the person

Someone needs to look up to.

Somewhere in this lonely abyss wanders a lonely soul.

You've found true Grace,

Never again will you be alone
