Simple Cry

 Music: U2 Gloria

In a land

With prisons brimming

While deserted asylums can’t be found

He stood

Hand outstretched

Simple cry

“Come”

She stood

Angelic hands

Surrounded by shackles

Forged by cries

Gasping from the past

Weak whispered lies

Powerless save

They knew what to say

Anyway

He stood

Hand outstretched

Simple cry

“Come”

He could speak

Of her power

Held

Tension bound

But

That would flow

When the time

Came round

Til then

He refused the darkness

Held light high

While

He stood

Hand outstretched

Simple cry

“Come”
