Grins are shown ,they stay a glow, black footprints lie beneath white winter snow
Past shadows vanish as our sin is stoned, fall ends, yet here rose our friend of hope He cleansed us when we consumed the menace, lit up our souls then fueled the essence Now snowflakes fall with our gloom, depression, alas a Christmas with a future present We’re grateful for our countless blessings, even when we refused to embrace your might Back when our faces resembled the grayest skies, because we couldn’t fight the pain inside Back when autumn leaves fell from the tallest trees, we were rotten seeds restrained from light Just Two brothers with a decaying frame of mind, souls pitch black, that couldn’t change to white Hawk eyes were on us day and night, for we did what we must to survive Stealing bread rations, taking tiny bites, a pair of thieves being parasites We hid in the dumpsters of dark alleys, trying to avoid police that roamed the streets Just Two miserable homeless teens, searching for the missing piece to their broken dream Life was looking bleak, autumn leaves fell along with our well being Lice ticked over our scalps with fleas, skin disease, our health had ceased Heavy breathing had you blacking out; we grasped each other’s hands to move through this journey strong But cries were heard for miles on that gloomy dawn, waking up, to see you were nearly gone We were just two scared kids with fear eating our carcass, not stopping till it’s leaving us heartless Each day that passed weakened our conscious, oxygen was like breathin' some toxins On this endless season of autumn, we sat beneath the trees, seen as forgotten A brown leaf fell to our feet, but we looked in despair as it began to darken… It seemed like all hope was lost, our sorrow was about to tie this rope a knot Till a white light appeared with a drawing glow, that lead us to a tree, with a broken cross We were hesitant to pick up the pieces, for the tree in front of us had all black leaves But we each took one half; those were the instincts of the grandest thieves The two pieces were drawn to each other, like they were attracted by the same white beam of light Each piece had a unfinished writing, but when put together, spelt “Jesus Christ” Right then, the white light reeled us in, saying that only faith will clear our sins We accepted him, Jesus, as our savior, friend, whom we swore to worship till the very end We were just two homeless brothers, but now were the sons of a greater being Our chests started to glow suddenly, as our black souls were whitened clean That day started a new beginning, the status of our old life withered All the black leaves fell from that tree, the change of a black autumn to a white winter |
