    PATHWAY 2 REDEMPTION (Songs of the Mist-part 3)

    Hello, Miss Begotten
    I thought I'd write you this letter
    if you care 2 know
    love has gotten better
    when you were here it was critical
    unfortunately
    there are no visuals
    down here in the depths of your betrayal
    but even this view pales
    in comparison
    2 the garrison
    you once erected
    it seems my soul was protected
    God, as they say
    takes care of babies and fools
    the devil uses tools
    beyond this man's decription
    but my momma always said
    the prescription
    4 what ails a heart
    is a brand new start

    you see, hurt begets hate
    if faith's 2 late
    and when bonds start 2 break
    evil desecrates
    the love you make
    but time
    heals the blind
    those lost in love
    and when your heart is bleeding
    never feeling the tide is receding
    there sits a dove
    guiding the pathway 2 a heart's redemption

    Please, if you will
    when you read this letter
    just chill
    and take some time 2 ponder
    was that meadow
    of willing fellows
    much more luxurious?
    after knowing you
    I sit and wonder
    if God is one of us
    He must be because
    I never lost trust
    in a Black woman's affections
    a heart's protection
    always arrives in the strangest of ways
    one minute you're lost in love
    the next you're counting the days
    2 your new love's arrival

    Just want you 2 know
    through all my pain
    when I came home
    and only my clothes remained
    from hating you my heart refrained
    I swallowed my pain

    because,
    hurt begets hate
    if faith's 2 late
    and when bonds
    start 2 break
    evil desecrates
    the love you make
    but time
    heals the blind
    those lost in love
    and when your heart is bleeding
    never feeling the tide is receding
    there sits a dove
    guiding the pathway 2 a heart's redemption

    just gotta say it one more time
    'cuz it feels so good

    time
    heals the blind
    those lost in love
    and when your heart is bleeding
    never feeling the tide is receding
    there sits a dove
    guiding the pathway 2 a heart's redemption


    after all that we've been through
    I say this with all my heart and soul
    Bless you
    my Love
    for leaving me 2 find my way
    back 2 me
    and a brighter day

    Angels of Mercy
    sing it 4 me please,

    time
    heals the blind
    those lost in love
    and when your heart is bleeding
    never feeling the tide is receding
    there sits a dove
    guiding the pathway....
    2 a heart's...redemption
