lyrics

Oh trusted memory bring me to that scene.
Where my body worked with ease and lacked disease.
A dream of a body that feels no pain that’s badgered and battered me.
Broken machine let this cease.

I feel a hand grab ahold my head no longer throbs.
No pain pills or stained spills.
No stomach left rot.

My old body grew withered and worn from toil and disease.
My new body has taken the form painless and free.

My ears have cleared they hear again.
My vision no longer crossed.
Those crippled nerves released I feel my body relaxed and soft.
My feet no longer swell.
My hands no longer shake.
This guilt that held me bears no claim.

For bitterness I have no time.
I’ve finally tamed it’s claws.
I grab a hold of all that’s good for which I always fought.
And I miss you already and I take you all with me.
But I hear a voice divine leading me to eternal peace.

My old body grew withered and worn from toil and disease.
My new body has taken the form painless and free.
