 MIRRORS OF LIFE

WHO WILL SIEZE THE TORCH?



"I WILL SIEZE THE TORCH", I CRIED
BUT WRONGS I'D DONE SAID I'D LIED
BUT GOD IN ME WAS ALL I SAW
I MUST BE THE PERFECTION OF HIS LAW.

" I WILL SIEZE THIS TORCH OF LIGHT!"
I SCREAMED INTO A BLACKENED NIGHT
SOMEONE LAUGHED, " OH, NOT YOU,
YOU THAT FAIL AT EVERY THING YOU DO?"

"I WILL SIEZE THE TORCH OF GOD
I'LL PROVE MYSELF, I'LL TRY HARD
FOR EVERY SOUL THAT LIVES IS ME
DEAR GOD, LET ME BE ONE TO SET THEM FREE!"

AND THEN IN GHOSTLY ROBES OF WHITE
AN ANGEL STEPPED FROM SOMEWHERE INTO MY SIGHT
AND REACHED OUT TO ME THIS TORCH OF FLAME
" NOW MARCH ON, DEAR SOUL, AND PROVE GOD'S NAME".

FROM THAT MOMENT QUITE TO NOW
LOOKING YEARS BACK I NOW CAN SMILE,
FOR I SIEZED THAT TORCH OF LIGHTED FLAME,
HERE'S THE TORCH, YOU DO THE SAME!
