Chorus to the Rescued

Chorus to the Rescued Period 4
2
You, the Rescued Whose feet twice walked through
the gates of hell
3
Who learned too well the difference between
survival and living Who became too familiar
with life and deaths fragile limbo
4
Where on first passage your soul fled Torn from
your body when you smelled the ashes
5
You, the rescued The things you learned, and the
guilt derived From every painful decision
While your soul watched helplessly As
you slowly crumbled to pieces
6
You, the rescued Through your eyes we see the
atrocities of the past Through your world, your
struggles revealed Your silence, the most telling
trait
7
You, the rescued Whose being aches at every
word Whose fears are evident We beg you to make
us into listeners To grant us your leave-taking
8
We, the Listeners No empty promises Nor salvation
do we bring Instead we come with compassion With
open ears and open minds To soothe the sores of
the crimes
9
We, the Listeners We work towards your revival To
introduce those harmed Gently back to the joys of
life
Help you bask in the glow of the light Shield you
from the worst Your experiences shared and
told So they will never be forgotten
10
We, the Listeners The harsh uncaring winter will
slowly lose its grip And the shining sun will
soon come up The scar upon you may be
permanent But the pain you feel doesnt have to be
11
You, the Protected No longer have to fear the
past We are here.
