Elisabeth's Eyes
Hope's Echo in Elisabeth's Eyes: A Song of Love and Redemption
Lyrics
I told my tale with some words
I shared my story using some words
From jail and a Bible vow
Spoken from confinement, with a commitment made using the Bible
But fear and fury were my judge and
Fear and anger served as my judges and jury
Jury so here I am now
Resulting in my current situation
There was a letter
A letter was involved
A hundred letters
Many letters were written
I wrote a letter
Expressing communication through writing
It said "Hi! Mr. President I hope
Addressed to the President, expressing hope for his well-being
You're fit and strong"
Wishing for a fair chance at life due to perceived injustice
And I hope you'll give me every
Requesting a fair opportunity for life
Chance to live because they done me wrong
Believing to be wrongly treated
My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Pinning hope on the eyes of someone named Elisabeth
Love I will never have known
Anticipating a type of love never experienced
My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Elisabeth's eyes symbolize hope and love
Alone
Emphasizing the feeling of loneliness
Still reeling I detect a feeling that I'm here to stay
Feeling a lasting impact, sensing a permanent presence
Somebody locked me up
Someone imprisoned the speaker
Somebody threw my key away
Metaphorically losing the key to freedom
I got a letter
Another letter was received
A single letter
A single letter was particularly significant
I read the letter
Reading a letter with encouraging words
It said "Hang in there boy
Encouragement to endure the situation
I am fighting for you still"
Realizing deep love for the sender
It was then I knew I really loved her too
Acknowledging enduring love
I guess I always will
Perceiving a continuous emotional attachment
(Chorus)
Repeating the chorus
Another letter
Receiving another letter
The last letter
The final letter in this context
I wrote a letter
Writing a farewell letter
It said "Don't cry lady, you really shouldn't care"
Advising not to grieve, as the speaker will find peace
Tuesday at seven I will find my heaven
Scheduling a specific time for a symbolic meeting in heaven
And I'll see you there
Expressing anticipation of reunion after death
(Chorus 2x)
Repeating the chorus twice
