(Jimmy P. Brown II/Terry Taylor)  Unfortunate souls will often say  We need to cling to yesterday  An evil there or light to see  Gives us hope of what might be  Faith gathered from "once was"  Hope gathered from "once was"  Peace gathered from "once was"  Love gathered from "once was"  I dream the past, the burning bridges  Old photographs, discarded pages  Unanswered prayers, the childhood endings  The bitter tears, the new beginnings  The life and times of a child alone  Searching for love in the cold unknown  Soul beat and scarred with the truth in sight  The lessons he's learned in darkest night  I dream of youth and unrequited love  There lies the truth, in what once was  And through it all I see at last  The Saviour's hand and all that's past  Memory is clear, Saviour drawing near  Feel my heart embraced, see desire's face  Here my soul will rest  The answered prayers, the childhood endings  The bitter tears, the new beginnings  The new beginnings?
