Analysis of Tonight
Tonight,
I was ready to die
But death
Wasn’t ready for me
Tonight,
I was ready to die
From a past
That refused to be free
Tonight,
I was ready to die
But the light
Of salvation rechose
Tonight,
I was ready to die
But the door
To eternity was closed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
