Jostling through life's treacherous road
Enchanted by the pot of gold
So long buried from man's hold
Solemn search that life be restored
It glitters to summon the soul
Each thrust burrows to the fold
Mangled minds are vibrant once more
Amid distress there's hope to soar
Reaching for that elusive dream
Gain back courage and self-esteem
Affliction I can bear no more
Restrained for so long to the core
Immense wish that all be set free
Take each one out of misery
A struggle for you and for me
Niggling thoughts let's cast awhile
Abandon cares, come bear that smile
Dispel grief with songs of your choice
Evoke joy, delight us with your voice
Let the songs we love and cherish
Assail as balm to our dying senses.
