The Answer

Tonight I have found my answer
Tonight I have learned the truth
It is not in all this world's worries and cares
Nor in the beauty of one's youth

It lies hidden within the spirit
Just waiting and wanting to be set free
It's a gentle plea, but can you hear it?
Listen well, for it's melody will bring you peace

The answer may be a hymn, a psalm
And the truth, a simple song of praise
It's words of freedom, teach us how to belong
As upon it's light we may freely gaze

So, look within instead of without
And in time I know there you will find
That there is a victory song, which you can shout
And from you bondage, finally resign
