You

In the thick of this dark jungle,

Where all I used to know became confused

A tiny speck of light shone through to me.

When my honesty was dying

And all I hoped was true seemed so unreal

An eye that sparkled somehow helped me see.

When my honesty was dying

And all I once lived for became abused,

A hand held mine and pulled me from the floor.

In the darkness of this desert

I thirst for truth to keep my heart aflame.

You gave me strength to take the cup once more.

In the darkness of this lying

Where daggers drawn will stab you in the back,

Your honesty shone out to pull me through.

In the thick of this dark jungle

I knelt and prayed they would not choke my pride.

My prayers were answered, now I know it’s true –

The truth I always held is here in you.
