When busy legs lie
Being neglected by hearts which sigh
Watching others move
As minds think of all its loss
Doom blankets future wishes
II
Will I ever rise?
Will I ever leave like them?
Will I ever laugh?
Will I ever get my wish?
Dilemic songs sing themselves
III
If God watches now
Let all sicknesses bow now
To grant peace to all
Because when eyes see movements
Hearts suffer left behind pain

Restoration
Jeremiah 30:17 ESV
For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord, because they have called you an outcast: ‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’
Joel 2:25-26 ESV
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you. “You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame.
