There is Hope

He was so young a man
	And so very strong
But he lacked one thing
	He did not have a song

The chains he broke asunder
	And the ropes he tore apart
He envied the dead with whom he lived
	He had a troubled heart

He tried so hard to be consistent
	He would not be like them
He wore no clothes to hide his shame
	He was proud of what he had been

But what he needed he did not know
	For with his strength he lacked control
And the storm that he had witnessed
 	Had touched his immortal soul

Could the man in the boat help him?
	Could He help him to be "one"?
When the man asked the question
	He did not know the man was God's Son.

"What is your name?", He asked
	(What a troubling question it was to him)
He confessed the truth that he now knew
	He was legion just like "them"

But Jesus set him free that day
	He found peace within his soul
He could sit, wear cloths but most of all
	He now had self-control
