WRETCH LIKE ME

So deep in thick wilderness,

I feared I could no longer 

make out the old song;

but it was then, 

with the melody missing 

and absolutely no sound, 

that I finally heard 

the words crystal clearly—

I once was lost, 

but now 

I'm 

just a 

bit curious;

was blind, 

but now, 

I guess 

I can kind 

of understand.
