Not Letting Go

By I.M. Ulysses

Not letting go
Just so you know
I won't stay away
From you today.

A friend in need
My friend indeed
A lost soul to save
A strong wind to brave

You must not die
And I will not lie
Though demons abound
Without leaving a sound

Don't stop believing
There's strength in receiving
A kind gentle word
Which cuts like a sword

Tears fall like a rain
From a heart that is slain
But there will be healing
And soon you'll stop grieving

The darkenss will fade
As it's cut by the blade
Of a sunlit new morn
The day truth is reborn

So open the gate
And wipe up the slate
Your eyes will be dry
If you will just try

But until that great moment
When your chain is broken
Hold on to the hope
Like the last thread of rope

Then you'll be free
To live happily
And your heart will be full
Of kindless to all

Just trust in my spirit
And I'll help you bear it
You're not alone, friend
I'm not letting go.
